Orbital Wave

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep a hula hoop spinning smoothly around your waist without it dropping. Just like how the hula hoop moves in a circular motion around your body, an orbital wave moves in a circular path, similar to how an ocean wave rotates beneath the surface. In this analogy, your waist represents the center of the wave's circular motion, the hula hoop is the wave itself, and the effort to keep it spinning mirrors the energy that maintains the wave's circular path.
