Question

Define the oscillatory motion with an example.

Answer 1

Answer:

• An oscillatory motion is a motion where a body moves between two extreme positions.

• The center of these extreme positions is called mean position. Time taken to complete one oscillation is called Time Period.

• When an oscillatory motion repeats itself in equal intervals of time it is called Periodic Motion.

Examples of oscillatory motion are vibrating strings, swinging of the swing etc.
