What is the natural frequency of a system?
The frequency at which a system loses energy and its oscillation amplitude decreases because of damping.
The frequency at which a system oscillates with maximum amplitude when an external driving force produces resonance.
The frequency at which a system oscillates when displaced and allowed to oscillate freely without an external driving force.
The frequency at which a system oscillates when forced to follow the frequency of an external driver.
