Oscillations
Simple harmonic motion, energy in SHM and damping.
1.Introduction to Oscillations
A simple explanation of what oscillations are and how many objects around us move back and forth repeatedly.2.Periodic and Non-Periodic Motion
Understand the difference between motion that repeats regularly and motion that does not repeat.3.Amplitude, Time Period and Frequency
Learn the basic terms used to describe oscillatory motion in simple, easy-to-understand language.4.Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration in Oscillation
Explore how displacement, velocity and acceleration change with time in an oscillating system.5.Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)
A clear introduction to SHM, the simplest type of oscillation where the restoring force brings the system back to its mean position.6.Mathematical Form of SHM
Understand the basic SHM equation and how sine and cosine functions describe oscillatory motion.7.Restoring Force in SHM
Learn how a restoring force pulls an object back to its equilibrium position during SHM.8.Phase and Phase Difference
A simple explanation of phase and why it helps us compare different oscillatory motions.9.Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion
Understand kinetic and potential energy changes during SHM, and how total energy remains constant.10.Damped Oscillations
Learn what happens when friction or resistance slows down an oscillating system over time.11.Forced Oscillations
Understand how an external periodic force can make a system oscillate continuously.12.Resonance
A simple explanation of resonance, where an object vibrates strongly when forced at its natural frequency.13.Examples of Oscillations
Everyday examples of oscillatory motion like pendulums, springs and musical instruments explained simply.
