Question

can a wave motion be generated in which a particle of the medium vibrate with angular simple harmonic motion ? is to explain how and describe the wave​

Answer 1

Answer:

Absolutely. One simple way to do this is to get a length of surgical tubing—the stuff they use to tie off your arm when taking blood. Tie it at both ends so it stretches horizontally. Make sure it’s got a fair amount of tension. Then you can start a wave by twisting the tubing at one end. You can see and feel the “torsional wave” moving along the tubing. Theoretically, you could set up standing torsional waves, in which case the individual parts of the tubing are undergoing angular SHM.

Also, standard “wave machines” actually utilize angular SHM. If you watch them closely, the rods on the machine are rotating, even though the ends of the rods appear to be moving up and down. You can make your own wave machine with candy, kebab skewers, and masking tape.
