Solution

WaveOscillation
A wave is a disturbance in a medium that carries energy without a net movement of particles.Oscillation is the repetitive or periodic variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value or between two or more different states
Waves are propagated through the space.oscillation occurs between the middle equilibrium point or between ay two points
There are two types of wave propagation longitudinal waves and, transverse wave.There are three types of oscillation damped, undamped, and forced oscillation
A mechanically or electromagnetically driven oscillation is the source of a wave. Wave is caused due to propagation of energy.A particle or system oscillating on a regular basis can produce a wave.
