In the Barton's pendulums experiment, the target pendulum swings with maximum amplitude when the system vibrates at the resonance frequency of the driver pendulum.
Notes on verification
Multiple independent physics education sources (Harvard, UCSB, Cambridge A-Level, O-level resources) confirm the resonance phenomenon described. Wording is slightly imprecise but matches standard educational phrasing and underlying physics is accurate. [tier=silver indep_score=0.875 clusters=4 claim_tier=everyday]
