what ia difference between oscillatiom amd vibratiom
Hello
Oscillation is the movement of a body from its resting place to the maximum distance it can cover on one side to the maximum distance on the other side and back to its resting place. The maximum distance that the body covers on either side of its resting place is equal from its resting place and is called the amplitude or maximum displacement.
Vibration of a body is the movement of the body about its mean position and can be linear, circular, periodic or non periodic. When an external force is applied to a body its atoms get displaced from their mean position and due to their binding force tend to come back to their mean position and due to the momentum they have gained during the motion tend to travel past their mean position to the opposite side and this phenomena continues till friction exhausts all their energy to stop. This movement of atoms cause vibration of a body and vibration stops when atoms come to halt at mean position
