I would like to express my idea on what I do think the oscillation and vibration is?
In my opinion, when a particle is moving in a same path again and again we can say that it is oscillating. While vibration is some physical disturbance produced due to oscillation. Consider a particle is vibrating and we are visualizing it in a slow motion. I can feel it is something very much similar to the oscillation. Every oscillating particle has some frequency associated with it and if the range of that frequency lies in the range of audible sound we can listen to that sound. So, is that oscillation a vibration or not.
If I am saying that a vibrating body produces sound wave, am I correct?
I think a vibration is a microscopic view of oscillation which can be felt clearly. As the frequency of vibration is very higher than oscillation a sound wave can also be heard. What do you think of these two terms.
