Vibration is the periodic, back and forth motion (oscillation) of an object. We encounter vibration in many different ways in our daily lives. Nearly all musical instruments utilize the periodic vibration of mechanical elements to make sound; for example, pianos and guitars use the vibration of a string and connected soundboard, clarinets use the vibration of a small reed, and trumpets use the vibration of the player’s lips.
