What do you call the measurements of a wave's magnitude of oscillation?
Amplitude
Is oscillation a wave?
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.
When a wave breaks it changes from being a wave of oscillation to being a wave of?
Nature
What is light an oscillation of?
Light is an electromagnetic wave, that is, an oscillation of both the electric and the magnetic fields.
What point of a wave has negative amplitude?
The trough of a wave appears to have a negative amplitude. However, because amplitude is a distance measurement, which is a scalar quantity having only magnitude, it has no sign.

What is the frequency in vibrations per second of a 100 Hz wave?
Hz as a unit of measurement is "cycles per second" 100 Hz is then 100 cycles of the oscillation per second.
What is an oscillation that travels from one place to another?
A wave
What is the Lowest part of oscillation of a transverse wave?
Trough.
What is the term for oscillation of water particle in the ocean?
Wave.
Is a rope wave a longitudinal wave?
No, rope wave is a transverse wave, because the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of movement of wave.
What is the wave height of wave of oscillation?
maximum and or minimum peak of any signal measured on an oscilloscope
The maximum height of a wave is what?
Amplitude, which is defined as the maximum displacement of a wave from it's centre of oscillation.
