One fundamental type of motion in the physical world is termed periodic motion. Periodic motion is motion repeats itself in a given cycle and is described by the following quantities: the period (T) of the motion, defined as the time required to complete a full cycle (in units of seconds per cycle), the frequency (ƒ) which is the reciprocal of the period or 1/T (in units of Hertz), and the amplitude (A) which is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position. A common type of periodic motion is that of the traveling wave, which propagates in the form of a sine wave. Traveling waves are observed when the waves are not confined to a specific region of the medium. The most commonly observed traveling wave is a water wave. A traveling wave has a velocity of propagation (v) equal to the product...
