Content
In addition to linear motion and rotational motion there is another kind of motion that is common in physics. This is the to and fro motion of oscillations or vibrations.
When something oscillates, it moves back and forth with time. It is helpful to trace out the position of an oscillating particle with time so we can define some terminology.
Period, Amplitude and Frequency
The time taken for the particle to complete one oscillation, that is, the time taken for the particle to move from its starting position and return to its.... View More
