It can be used in contexts related to physics, sound, or any situation where waves change or switch in a regular pattern.
Example: "The experiment demonstrated the behavior of alternating waves in a controlled environment."
Alternatives: "oscillating waves" or "fluctuating waves".

This class of disturbances covers asymmetric wave forms in the half-period such as alternating sawtooth wave form, some disturbances which are generated from nonlinear oscillation such as Van de Pol oscillators, as well as disturbances with symmetric half-period wave forms such as sinusoidal disturbances and triangular disturbances etc.
Bidirectional alternating megasonic wave assisted electroforming has an outstanding performance on the uniformity of electroformed layer, which achieves the lowest planeness value (PV = 10.91 μm) of all the electroforming experiments.
