1. Harmonic Oscillator

   Linked via "mechanical vibrations"

   The Harmonic Oscillator is a system that, when displaced from its equilibrium position, experiences a restoring force (physics)/) directly proportional to the displacement. This fundamental concept appears across diverse fields of physics and engineering, underpinning models of everything from mechanical vibrations to quantum field theory. The mathematical description typically involves a [second-order line…

   Acoustic Wave Propagation in Complex Media
   Acoustic wave propagation is the study of mechanical vibrations through materials. The medium's properties dictate attenuation, reflection, and refraction.
