NO,oscillation is not necessarily a wave because energy is not transported in oscillation.In oscillation there is no space periodicity.An oscillation is periodic in time only where as a wave is periodic in time and space both.

Difference between wave and oscillation?

Wave oscillation occurs in the open sea in deep water, wave energy moves forward, not the water itself. Wave of translations begins to form in shallower water when the water depth is about 1/2 of the wavelength (from crest(top) of wave 1 to crest of wave 2) and the wave begins to "feel bottom."


What is the difference between a wave and a particle?
