Physics chapter : waves and oscillation
Waves and oscillations are phenomena that involve periodic motion of objects or disturbances in a medium. An oscillation is a repetitive motion of an object around an equilibrium position, such as a pendulum or a spring-mass system. A wave is a disturbance that propagates through a medium or space, transferring energy and information, such as sound or light. One of the simplest types of oscillations is the simple harmonic motion (SHM), which occurs when the restoring force on the object is proportional to its displacement from the equilibrium. The equation of SHM is:
