- 1OscillationA regular repeating motion about a central value
- 2Frequencyf=1/T i.e. the no. of whole cycles occurring in one second. (Symbol: f; SI unit: Hertz, Hz.)
- 3Period(or periodic time)- The time taken for one whole cycle of an oscillation, i.e. before the motion starts to repeat itself. (Symbol: T, SI unit: s).
- 4DisplacementHow far the quantity that is an oscillation has moved from it's mean (rest) value at any given time. (Symbol and unit: various according to what the quantity is that is oscillating).
- 5AmplitudeThe maximum value of displacement in the oscillation cycle-always measured from the mean (rest) position.
