Oscillations and waves are fundamental concepts in physics that describe the repetitive and rhythmic behaviors of systems. An oscillation refers to the periodic motion of an object or quantity around a central point or equilibrium, such as the swinging of a pendulum or the vibration of a guitar string. When oscillations propagate through a medium, transferring energy from one location to another, they are known as waves. Waves can take various forms, including mechanical waves, like sound and water waves, and electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of oscillations and waves, and how such concepts have practical applications. It provides comprehensive insights into the field. The book is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.
