What to Focus On

  • Periodic motion repeats after a fixed time interval.
  • Oscillatory motion is to-and-fro motion about a mean position.
  • All oscillatory motions are periodic, but not all periodic motions are oscillatory.

  • In SHM, acceleration ∝ displacement and is directed toward the mean position.
  • The displacement equation is sinusoidal: $ x = A \sin(\omega t + \phi) $
  • SHM is the projection of uniform circular motion on a diameter.

  • SHM is the projection of uniform circular motion on a diameter.
  • Displacement: $ y = A \sin(\omega t + \phi) $
  • Velocity leads displacement by 90°, acceleration by 180°.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All periodic motions are oscillatory.

In SHM, acceleration is maximum when velocity is maximum.

The time period of a spring-mass system depends on amplitude.

Memory Tips

Definition of Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)

F = -kx (Hooke’s Law for SHM)

Acceleration in SHM: a = -ω²x

Displacement equation: y = A sin(ωt + φ)
