Soon after, this area became known as Little Haiti, and is now one of the most recognizable Haitian communities in the United States. From north to south, Little Haiti extends from 84th Street to 36th Street; from west to east, it is ten blocks wide, stretching from 6th Ave, NW to 4th Ave, NE.
Definition of oscillation. 1  1 : the action or state of oscillating stays can be effectively used to prevent oscillations in new bridges â D. B. Steinman. 2  2 : variation, fluctuation famines due to excessive storminess and violent oscillations of rain and drought, heat and cold â Ellsworth Huntington.
When a body vibrates, or moves back and forth (see vibration), the oscillation causes a periodic disturbance of the surrounding air or other medium that radiates outward in straight lines in the form of a pressure wave. The effect these waves produce upon the ear is perceived as sound. From the point of view of physics, sound is considered to be the waves of vibratory motion themselves, whether or not they are heard by the human ear.
