A system is considered to be critically damped when the damping is adjusted to be just enough to prevent oscillation. If the damping is too low, the system will be underdamped and oscillate. If the damping is too high, the system will be overdamped and take longer to return to equilibrium. Resonance occurs when the system's natural frequency is matched with an external force, causing it to vibrate with increasing amplitude. Slightly damped is not a commonly used term in this context.
