Why oscillation important for physics?
Oscillation is a common phenomenon in physics.Sound and electromagnetic radiation (radio, light, x-rays etc propagate as sinusoidal waves which are oscillations about a mean value. Springs, pendulums (penduli?) oscillate about their rest position in simple harmonic motion, which is oscillation about the mean.
If a pendulum takes 32 seconds to complete 20 oscillations. Calculate the time period?
Time period per oscillation=32/ 20=1.6 sec per oscillation.
What is time taken by an object to complete one oscillation called?
time period
A simple pendulum of length 20cm took 120 seconds to complete 40 oscillation find its time period?
The period of a simple pendulum of length 20cm took 120 seconds to complete 40 oscillation is 0.9.
What is the relationship between amplitude and period of oscillation in simple harmonic motion?
There is no relationship. They are independent. Either of those quantities can be changed without any effect on the other one. Except that when considering coupling, a greater amplitude or one component will have more effect in 'changing' the period of oscillation of the other to match the one with the high amplitude (via resonance).
What is another word for waves?
Oscillation.

Why aren't sound waves called transverse waves?
Because they are longitudinal waves. The direction of oscillation of the particles is parallel to the direction of propagation of the waves.
Mass and pendulum oscillation?
Mass oscillation time period = 2 pi sq rt. (m/k) Pendulum oscillation time period = 2 pi sq rt. (l/g)
What is another word for brain waves?
cranium rollercoasters
What is oscillation time period?
The inverse of frequency.
What are the disturbances in waves?
The disturbances in waves are the ones that push the waves. This can be defined as a variation or oscillation that travels though a medium from one point to another.
If the initial displacement from equilibrium amplitude is changed does the period of oscillation change?
Initial displacement has no effect on the period of oscillation. The period T = 2(pi)sqrt(mass/spring constant)
What are waves that disturb matter?
Waves that disturb matter are called mechanical waves. These waves propagate as an oscillation of matter, thus transfer of energy through a medium occurs.
How does the period of the oscillation vary with its length when the length increased?
The period increases too.
If a pendulum takes 32 seconds to complete 20 oscillations. Calculate the time period?
Time period per oscillation=32/ 20=1.6 sec per oscillation.
Why is sound waves are longitudinal waves?
This is because the direction of wave propagation is parallel to the direction of the oscillation of the particles causing the wave to propagate.
