SHM and Waves

What is simple harmonic motion?

• The position of the oscillating object varies sinusoidally with time

• Oscillatory motion where the net force on the system is a restoring force.

• The movement of any vibrating string which causes sound.

• The motion which involves movement in only one direction.
