  2. Simple harmonic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_harmonic_motion

    The motion of a body in which it moves to and from about a definite point is also called oscillatory motion or vibratory motion. The time period is able to be calculated by T = 2 π l g {\displaystyle T=2\pi {\sqrt {\frac {l}{g}}}} where l is the distance from rotation to center of mass of object undergoing SHM and g being gravitational ...

  3. Oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillation

    An undamped spring–mass system is an oscillatory system. Oscillation is the repetitive or periodic variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states. Familiar examples of oscillation include a swinging pendulum and alternating current. Oscillations can be ...

  4. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    The motion is periodic, repeating itself in a sinusoidal fashion with constant amplitude A. In addition to its amplitude, the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is characterized by its period T = 2 π / ω {\displaystyle T=2\pi /\omega } , the time for a single oscillation or its frequency f = 1 / T {\displaystyle f=1/T} , the number of ...

  5. Harmonic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_motion

    Harmonic motion can mean: the displacement of the particle executing oscillatory motion that can be expressed in terms of sine or cosine functions known as harmonic motion . The motion of a Harmonic oscillator (in physics), which can be: Simple harmonic motion; Complex harmonic motion

  6. Phase (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_(waves)

    In physics and mathematics, the phase (symbol φ or ϕ) of a wave or other periodic function of some real variable (such as time) is an angle-like quantity representing the fraction of the cycle covered up to .

    (Oscillatory) displacement amplitude: Any quantity symbol typically subscripted with 0, m or max, or the capitalized letter (if displacement was in lower case). Here for generality A 0 is used and can be replaced. m [L] (Oscillatory) velocity amplitude V, v 0, v m. Here v 0 is used. m s −1 [L][T] −1 (Oscillatory) acceleration amplitude A, a ...

  8. Sine wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave

    A sine wave, sinusoidal wave, or sinusoid (symbol: ∿) is a periodic wave whose waveform (shape) is the trigonometric sine function. In mechanics , as a linear motion over time, this is simple harmonic motion ; as rotation , it corresponds to uniform circular motion .

  9. Oscillation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillation_(mathematics)

    Oscillation of a sequence (shown in blue) is the difference between the limit superior and limit inferior of the sequence. In mathematics, the oscillation of a function or a sequence is a number that quantifies how much that sequence or function varies between its extreme values as it approaches infinity or a point.
