Sine wave

A sine wave is the purest form of vibrational motion, also called simple harmonic motion.

The [spectrum] of a sine wave consists of the [fundamental] [partial] alone. All complex vibrations are comprised of sine waves at different [amplitude]s by the [Fourier theorem].

[Sine generators] are used when [synthesizing] sine waves [audio signals].
