The natural response in physics refers to the inherent behavior of systems in equilibrium without external forces. It's observed in mechanical and electrical contexts, such as pendulum swings and RLC circuits. This concept is crucial for designing stable structures and understanding quantum phenomena. The natural response is characterized by parameters like the damping ratio and time constant, which help predict system behavior and prevent resonance.
