Study Notes
Oscillation
- Oscillation refers to a repetitive back-and-forth motion around a central point or axis, often in a regular cycle.
- Over time, the value of an oscillating quantity, such as displacement or velocity, repeatedly increases and decreases in a predictable manner.
- Oscillatory motion is characterized by a repetitive pattern of movement, where the object returns to its initial position after a fixed period.
Key Characteristics of Oscillatory Motion
- Oscillatory motion is periodic, meaning it repeats at fixed intervals.
- The motion is bounded, meaning it does not continue indefinitely in one direction.
- The oscillation can be described by a sinusoidal curve, where the amplitude and frequency of the oscillation are constant.
