What is meant by simple harmonic oscillation ? Give example

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Simple harmonic motion is a special type of oscillatory motio in which the acceleration or force on the particle is directly proportional to its displacemen from a fixed point and is always directed towards that fixed point.
Eg : Oscillation of a pendulum. SHM is a special type of periodic motion, where restoring force is proporitonal to displacement and acts in the direction opposite to displacement.
