Topics in Oscillations

1

1. Periodic Motion, Oscillatory Motion, and Basic Terms

  • Periodic motion repeats itself after equal intervals of time.
  • Oscillatory motion is a to-and-fro motion about a mean position.
  • Every oscillatory motion is periodic, but every periodic motion need not be oscillatory.
2

2. Simple Harmonic Motion

  • SHM is the simplest form of oscillatory motion.
  • In SHM, displacement varies sinusoidally with time.
  • The restoring force is directly proportional to displacement from the mean position and is directed towards the mean position.
3

3. SHM and Uniform Circular Motion

  • SHM can be understood as the projection of uniform circular motion on a diameter.
  • A particle P moving uniformly on a circle of radius A with angular speed ω has a projection P' that executes SHM.
  • Projection on the x-axis and y-axis differ in phase by π/2.
4

4. Velocity and Acceleration in SHM

  • Velocity and acceleration in SHM are also sinusoidal.
  • Velocity leads displacement by a phase of π/2.
  • Acceleration is opposite to displacement and leads displacement by a phase of π.
