Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM):
- SHM is a type of periodic motion in which an object oscillates back and forth around an equilibrium position under the influence of a restoring force that is proportional to its displacement from the equilibrium position and acts in the opposite direction.
- Examples of SHM include a mass on a spring, a pendulum swinging back and forth, and the motion of a vibrating guitar string.
- Waves : Waves are disturbances that propagate through a medium or space, transferring energy without transferring matter.
- SHM and waves are related in various ways, such as the oscillatory motion of particles in a medium giving rise to wave propagation, or the behavior of waves exhibiting periodic motion. For example, sound waves can be analyzed as pressure variations in a medium resulting from the oscillations of air particles, which can be described using concepts of SHM
