Simple Harmonic Motion

Definition

Simple harmonic motion refers to the repetitive back-and-forth motion of an object around a stable equilibrium position, where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from that position.

Oscillation: Oscillation refers to any periodic or repetitive motion around an equilibrium point.

Amplitude: Amplitude represents the maximum displacement or distance from the equilibrium position in simple harmonic motion.

Period:

Period is the time taken for one complete cycle of oscillation in simple harmonic motion.
