Any quantity or body is in a state of oscillation when its value or motion is continually changing so that it passes through maximum and minimum values or positions. When a system, body or quantity is set in PERIODIC motion or vibration, it is said to be in oscillation.
A swinging pendulum, a vibrating string, or a bobbing buoy are all examples of oscillation and SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION. However, RANDOM NOISE is also an oscillation since it passes through maximum and minimum values.
