Oscillation
Oscillation is the repetitive variation, typically in
time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of
equilibrium) or between two or more different states. The term '
vibration' is precisely used to describe mechanical oscillation but used as a synonym of 'oscillation' too. Familiar examples include a swinging
pendulum and
alternating current power.
