Oscillation and waves Trending
Wave motion is the phenomenon that can be observed almost everywhere around us, as well it appears in almost every branch of physics. Surface waves on bodies of matter are commonly observed. Sound waves and light waves are essential to our perception of the environment. All waves have a similar mathematical description, which makes the study of one kind of wave useful for the study of other kinds of waves. In this chapter, we will concentrate on string waves, which are the type of mechanical waves.
Course Timeline:
Simple harmonic motion is a special type of periodic motion where the restoring force on the moving object is directly proportional to, and opposite of, the object's displacement vector. It results in an oscillation which, if uninhibited by friction or any other dissipation of energy, continues indefinitely.

A vibration in a string is a wave. ... If the length or tension of the string is correctly adjusted, the sound produced is a musical tone. Vibrating strings are the basis of string instruments such as guitars, cellos, and pianos.
