1. PERIOD: is defined as the time it takes to make a complete oscillation

2. FREQUENCY: it is defined as the number of oscillations generated in one second

3. AMPLITUDE: it is defined as the maximum distance that exists between the position that balances and the maximum height

4. CYCLE: is defined as the complete vibration of the body that occurs when the body starts from a position and returns to the same point

5. OSCILLATION: it is defined as the movement that is always made to the same fixed point

6. WAVE MOVEMENTS OR WAVES: they are fundamentally of two kinds, mechanical and electromagnetic. Mechanical waves need a material medium to propagate, electromagnetic waves do not also propagate through a vacuum

7. SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION: A cyclic back and forth motion in which an object oscillates from one side of its equilibrium position, in a given direction, and in equal time intervals. Examples of wave motion can be observed in everyday life, the sounds produced in the larynx of animals and humans allow communication between individuals of the same species.

   • This is an example of an object suspended from a spring oscillating up and down. The object oscillates harmonically about the equilibrium position when it is separated from it and released.

8. TENSION FORCE: Tension (T) is the force with which a taut rope or cable pulls on any body attached to its ends. Each tension follows the direction of the cable and the same direction as the force that tensions it at the opposite end.
