1. Define oscillation: a regularly repeating motion about a central value.
2. Define frequency: the number of whole cycles occurring in one second. f=1/T (symbol: f; SI unit: Hertz, Hz)
3. Define periodic time: the time taken for one whole cycle of an oscillation, i.e. before the motion starts to
repeat itself. (symbol: T; SI unit: s)
4. Define displacement: how far the quantity that is in oscillation has moved from its mean (rest) value at
any given time.
5. Define amplitude: the maximum value of displacement in the oscillation cycle - always measured from the
mean (rest) position.
