Simple Harmonic Motion
An important property of oscillatory motion is the frequency f which is the number of oscillations completed each second. The units are sec-1 or Hertz, often abbreviated as Hz. Thus
Another related quantity is the period T which is the time taken to complete 1 full oscillation. Now
and if the time is simply T then 1 oscillation is completed. Thus
In circular motion, which is a type of oscillatory motion, we introduced the angular speed defined as
Clearly if Δθ = 2π then Δt = T giving . Thus angular velocity and frequency are related by
In oscillations is often called angular frequency. Any motion that repeats itself at regular intevals is called oscillatory motion or harmonic motion. Now of all the mathematical functions that you have ever come across, there is one famous function that displays oscillations and that is cos θ, which is plotted in Figure 1.1.

Thus the displacement x for oscillatory motion can be written
but , giving
We can also introduce a phase angle ϕ if we want and instead write
Here xm refers to the maximum value of the displacement x. And xm is often called the amplitude of the motion. Any motion that obeys the above equation x = xm cos !t is called Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM). The velocity of SHM is easy to figure out. First recall that if y = cos kx then . Now the velocity is
Also recall if y = sin kx when . Now the acceleration is
from which it follows that
Notice that when x and a are at a maximum, then v is a minimum and vice-versa.
