Vibration


In physics, a periodic or oscillatory motion about a position. Sound is produced by vibrations of objects such as the stretched strings of a violin or the air particles in a wind instrument. The sound of the human voice is produced by the motion of air causing the ‘strings’ of the vocal cords to vibrate.
