    Vibration is a periodic motion of a body through an equilibrium point. The period is the time to make one vibration, and the frequency is the number of vibrations in one second. It took 40 seconds to make 200 vibrations. To calculate the period, use the formula T = t/n, where T is the period in seconds, t is the time taken in seconds, and n is the number of vibrations. To calculate the frequency, use the formula f = 1/T, where f is the frequency in Hertz and T is the period in seconds. A wave is a regular vibration that can be longitudinal, transverse, electromagnetic, or mechanical depending on the direction and medium of the vibration.

    Vibration

    is a periodic motion of a body through a equilibrium point.

    When the pendulum moves from B-A-C-A-B,


    it is called that it makes one vibration.

    Period is time to make one vibration.


    Frequency is the number of vibration in
    one second.
    Formula
    t
    __
    T = n T = period (s)
    t = time taken (s)
    __
    n
    f = t f = frequency (Hz)
    n = number of vibration
    It took 40 seconds to make 200 vibrations. Calculate :
    ● The period
    ● The frequency
    Wave

    Wave is called as a regular vibration.

    Based on the direction the waves are divided into :


    ● Longitudinal wave
    ● Transverse wave

    Based on the medium the waves are divided into :


    ● electromagnetic wave
    ● mechanical wave
    Longitudinal Wave

    Longitudinal wave has compression and rarefaction.


    Sound is one of longitudinal wave.
    Transverse wave

    Longitudinal wave has crest and trough.


    Light is one of transverse wave.
    Transverse wave

    wave length = the length of one wave (m or cm)


    Period = time to make one wave (s)
    Frequency = the number of wave in one second (Hz)
    Speed = the travelled distance in one second (m/s)
