Oscillations theory
Oscillations
Oscillations are the repetitive variation, disturbance or fluctuation over the time measure about a central value or system. A particle oscillates periodically when it moves relative to its equilibrium position.
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement.
It can serve as a mathematical model of a variety of motions, such as the oscillation of a spring. In addition, other phenomena can be approximated by simple harmonic motion, including the motion of a simple pendulum as well as molecular vibration. There are several key concepts in the study of harmonic motion:
- – Amplitude (A): maximum elongation which a stroke has.
- – Period (T): time that a complete swing is done.
- – Frequency (f): Number of oscillations per unit time.
The driving force acting on a particle of mass m so that it oscillates with simple harmonic motion, must be proportional to the displacement x and opposite to it.
