A sine wave is a basic waveform which originated when men wanted to name the shape that came when they had a long rope and made it move up & down.. Now.. sine wave is an important wave in electric circuits.. The electricity tat is generated is a sine wave & i needn't list wer u use electricity..it is a representation for a sound wave, an oscillation, sometimes a light ray, etc..etc;

A sine wave is a representation of magnitude and polarity versus time of an alternating current signal of some kind.

Practically every form of oscillating motion, can be expressed in terms of a sine wave.
It's used in electrics, electronics, mechanical engineering, radio, you name it. If something goes round or moves back and forth the movement can be expressed with one or more sine waves.

If you check the power supply to your house it is a sine wave, Analogue radio transmission for another. also, used to simulate ship movement, thus make it possible to test the response of remote controlled guns and launchers in harbour under realistic conditions (maybe Plus 30deg to minus 30 deg over 30 seconds, hence the gun/whatever will train or elevate left/right and the follow errors can be measured.

Because of the oscillating nature of the curve, it's used for many purposes. Harmonic motion can be modeled by a sin curve (or a cos curve). It's also used for animations.
