Explain the term phase and initial phase of shm

Answer 1

time being, answering it in simple terms. Let us consider a particle vibrating in Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). Now we want to have a complete overview of its probable dynamics. In order to have it, we must find out both its position and direction of motion. It is here that “PHASE” comes into play- the term encompasses both the specifications.
