16. c. resonance-

17. c. resonance- increase in amplitude when
c. resonance- increase in amplitude when frequency of forced vibration matches the objects natural frequency.

18. d. standing wave-

19. d. standing wave- standing waves -certain parts of the wave, called nodes, remain stationary. Standing waves are result of interference.
