Resonance maximizes the power a driving force delivers to a system

Evidence

Key point: The maximum power principle of resonance: Being on resonance implies maximizing power delivered to a system by a driving force. In turn, maximal power implies in-phase alignment of force and velocity. — Eric J. Heller, Why You Hear What You Hear- An…, 994
