Waves and Oscillations refers to the disturbance and transfer of energy through a medium or the back-and-forth movement of an object between positions. It is an important subject in physics that relates to other fields like microwave ovens, Doppler effect, blackbody radiation, and wave interference. Waves and oscillations also have applications in other sciences like bio-physics through shock waves, geo-physics through seismic waves, electromagnetism through electromagnetic radiation, and optics through acoustics. Understanding waves and oscillations is essential to many physical phenomena including light, electrons, atoms, electric circuits, and magnetic fields.

4. Waves and Oscillations
Waves : Disturbance in medium .
Transfer energy from one point to other.
Oscillations :Back and forth movement of object
between two positions or states.
Waves and Oscillations :
Wave in which the particles of water move in closed vertical
orbits.

5. Waves and Oscillations
Waves and Oscillations stands in overall subjects related to physics:
1. Microwave in Oven .
2. Doppler Effect .
3. Black body radiations .
4. Wave Interference.

6. Waves and Oscillations
Relation of Waves and oscillations with other fields of physics:
1. Bio Physics :
Shock waves in medicine is to disintegrate kidney stones. They are also
used in orthopedics and traumatology to treat disease of the tendons. It helps
patients rebuild muscle and strength.
2. Geo Physics :
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth's interior or along it
s surface. The entire Earth can also oscillate in forms that are called normal m
odes or free oscillations of the Earth.

7. Waves and Oscillations
Relation of Waves and oscillations with other fields of physics:
3. Electromagnetism:
Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that is produced by oscillating
electric and magnetic disturbance, or by the movement of electrically charged
particles traveling through a vacuum or matter.
4. Optical Physics:
Waves and Oscillations also related with optics by acoustics.
5. Chemistry:
Wave-Particle Duality theory.

8. Waves and Oscillations
Importance of waves and Oscillations:
Waves are an extremely important part of physics. An understanding of
waves is essential to understand a wide range of physical phenomena
including light and the wave properties of matter including electrons and atom.
Oscillations are a basic characteristic of all matter. Oscillations play an
important role in the macro- and micro-world. Oscillation cannot be just
mechanical.
So, for instance, one can consider the oscillations of an electric current in an
oscillatory circuit or a magnetic field strength in a dynamo,(M.E to E.E) etc.
