    Introduction The hertz (Hz) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after the German physicist Heinrich Hertz, who made significant contributions to the study of electromagnetism. Definition One hertz is defined as one cycle per second. In mathematical terms, if a periodic event occurs once every second,…

    25.1 Introduction to Mechanical Waves In this chapter, we will explore oscillators and mechanical waves. Oscillators are systems that exhibit periodic motion, while mechanical waves are disturbances that propagate through a medium. Understanding these phenomena is essential for grasping various aspects of physics, such as sound, light, and energy transfer. 25.2 Oscillators 25.2.1 Simple Harmonic…
