Oscillation in physics occurs when a system or object goes back and forth repeatedly between two states or positions.

Spectroscopy is the investigation and measurement of spectra produced by matter interacting with or emitting electromagnetic radiation.

What are longitudinal wavesIn this case, Individual particles of wave move in direction of propagation of wavesIn easy language, particles of medium move back and forth (left and right) making nearby particles of medium vibrateExampleIf we stretch a slinky, it moves left and right (in the direction
