Topics in Oscillations and Waves
Every topic of Oscillations and Waves, ordered by how many published questions sit behind it. A topic with none is listed rather than hidden — it is part of the chapter either way.
- Simple harmonic motion, its equation and phase
- Progressive waves and the principle of superposition
- Reflection, standing waves in strings and organ pipes, harmonics
- Simple pendulum and its time period
- Kinetic and potential energy in SHM

Oscillations and Waves weightage in NEET-UG 2026 and JEE Main 2026
These shares are measured across many years of past papers, so they describe the long run rather than predicting any single paper.
| Paper | Share of Physics | Typical questions | Typical marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEET-UG 2026 chapter-wise weightage | 5.7% | 2.6 | 10 |
| JEE Main 2026 chapter-wise weightage | 5.7% | 1.4 | 5.7 |
Previous year questions from Oscillations and Waves
Past-paper questions are the most trustworthy material in the bank, and assembly reaches for them first when it builds a Oscillations and Waves test. They are not listed separately here, because a question's value is that you meet it under a clock rather than that you read it in a list.
A Oscillations and Waves test draws from all 274 published questions in this chapter, past papers first. Sit one now and see the per-topic breakdown.
