  • what is a source
    A source can be a physical object, such as a vibrating spring, a speaker, a microwave.
  • What is the SI unit of period (T)?
    The seconds (s)
  • what is meant by amplitude
    Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement or distance of the source from its rest or equilibrium position.
  • What is a complete oscillation?
    A complete oscillation is when the vibrating object gains its initial position.
  • Define a vibratory motion.
    A vibratory motion is the oscillatory movement of a body about its equilibrium position.
  • 3 examples of periodic motion
    --
  • what are ripples
    Ripples are small water waves
  • what does periodic vibratory motion mean?
    when object oscillates or vibrates back and forth or up and down from its equilibrium position , in a manner that repeats itself during the same duration .
  • what is equilibrium position of an object
    the position occupied by the object when it is at rest
  • What do we call the time taken for one complete oscillation?
    period
