Detailed explanation-1: -Simple harmonic motion describe the neatest form of oscillations. It has uses in everything from waves in solids and liquids, light waves, to atomic physics.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is Simple Harmonic Motion? Simple Harmonic Motion or SHM is defined as a motion in which the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement of the body from its mean position. The direction of this restoring force is always towards the mean position.
Detailed explanation-3: -Each particle on the path of a longitudinal wave, Fig. 1.3, performs simple harmonic motion about its average position as the wave moves through it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Detailed Solution Simple harmonic motion is a special type of periodic motion, in which a particle moves to and fro repeatedly about a mean position. Example: Motion of an undamped pendulum, undamped spring-mass system.
