Resonance is a special case of forced vibrations. When the external periodic force applied equals the natural frequency of the body free to vibrate, the body begins to vibrate with an increased amplitude. This phenomenon is known as resonance.
The definition above is the scientific definition. To be more clear, when a body is set in vibration by another body by applying a force, if this force's frequency equals the natural frequency of the body then the body starts vibrating even more vigorously. For examples see the links below:

Hope this helps...:)

resonance- when an object is forced to oscillate at its natural frequency, itll do so with maximum amplitude. this is because maximum energy has been transferred to the system. this effect is called resonance
