There are many physical phenomena that can be modelled by sine waves:
Waves in water are an obvious example,
Compression and rarefaction in the propagation of sound,
Transmission of all electromagnetic radiation,
Vibrations of strings in Musical Instruments,
Bodies "bouncing" on a spring.
Also, more complicated motion can be modelled by a superposition of many sine waves (using Fourier transforms). This enables complex motions to be studied more easily.

How is sine affiliated with waves?
Waves are periodic function, as is the sine function.
Sine wave can be split into?
a)set of sine waves b)set of sine waves with phase zero
When was Surfing on Sine Waves created?
Surfing on Sine Waves was released on April 2, 1996 by Autechre.
What waves create electricity?
sine waves
What are the advantages of the sine wave compare to other form of waves?
None - except that we have a grasp of the mathematical properties of sine waves. Sine waves seldom occur in nature ... but they often come close enough to be approximated by a sine wave.
Does acoustics use trigonometry?
Yes, because all sound waves can be modelled as sine (or cosine) waves, or combinations of sine waves.
What is the graphical representation of waves?
Sine graphs.
What do sound waves have to do with trigonometry?
Sound waves and other types of waves have sinusoidal graphs. The graph of a sound with a single frequency is a sine wave. More complicated sounds contain multiple frequencies, and their graphs can be obtained by summing up sine waves. Other sorts of waves, not just sound waves, can also be analysed as sums of sine waves. This includes light and changing electrical currents.
How is trig used in life?
The obvious answer is the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. Waves in the sea are an example of a sine wave. Tidal Experts and Meterologists alike use sine waves to help predict tides. Music will also emit waves that may often look like a sine wave and pure notes will look like sine or cosine waves. The speed of a swinging pendulum can be plotted as a sine wave as well as the sound of a tuning fork.
What waves start with the letter S?
Some answers:Sea waves.Sigmoid waves,Sine waves,Soliton waves,Sound waves,Standing waves,Stationary waves.
An example how trigonometric functions are used to explain a real life occurance?

The speed of a swinging pendulum can be plotted as a sine wave as well as the sound of a tuning fork. Electromagnetic radiation (from a mobile phone, GPS, car radio ect) also moves in sine waves.
Can all waveforms be built up from sine waves?
yes
