Answer 1

Difference between Oscillatory Motion and Periodic Motion

Periodic motion is defined as the motion that repeats itself after fixed intervals of time. ... Oscillatory motion is defined as the to and fro motion of the body about its fixed position.

Answer 2

Any motion that repeats itself at regular interval of time is called periodic motion. Examples: Motion of the pendulum of a clock, motion of planets around the Sun, etc. A to and fro or back and forth motion of a body along the same path, without any change in shape of the body, is called an oscillatory motion.
