Question

What is the difference between oscillation and vibration ?

Plzzzz I need the answer as soon as possible.....

Answer 1

So due to your unsure thank you from the answer before, here’s another explanation that I hope will help :)

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.

Vibration is any type of motion of an object around some equilibrium position. Not necessarily periodic, and not necessarily forming anything that looks like "waves".

If you’re still confused, that’s ok, just leave me a comment, good luck!

Answer 2

Oscillation is a definite distance covered by the movement about it's equilibrium position, vibration is reffered to the physical change brought about due to movement of the body. Oscillation can be seen in the swinging of a pendulum clock and vibration in the plucking of guitar string
