Oscillation Sinusoidal wave
Oscillation refers to any Periodic Motion moving at a distance about the equilibrium position and repeat itself over and over for a period of time . Example The Oscillation up and down of a Spring , The Oscillation side by side of a Spring. The Oscillation swinging side by side of a pendulum
Spring's oscillation
Spring's Oscillation Up and down
right
When apply a force on an object of mass attach to a spring . The spring will move a distance y above and below the equilibrium point and this movement keeps on repeating itself for a period of time . The movement up and down of spring for a period of time is called Oscillation
Equilibrium is reached when
Spring's Oscillation Side by side
Equilibrium is reached when
Pendulum Oscillation
200px|right
When there is a force acting on a pendulum. The pendulum will swing from side to side for a certain period of time. This type of movement is called oscillation
Equilibrium is reached when
Water Wave
Concentric Circles
Concentric circles travels in a direction when there is a cobble drops on the water surface
Which can be expressed as
High Low Wave
Water wave moves in a direction that changes its amplitude sinusoidally
With
: Wavelength . The distance between 2 crests (highest point)
: Frequency . frequency of time to complete a cycle
