UP Board Class 11 Physics – Oscillations
The chapter Oscillations in UP Board Class 11 Physics explains the motion that repeats itself after equal intervals of time. This type of motion is known as periodic or oscillatory motion. Students learn how objects like springs, pendulums, and waves move back and forth around a mean position.
This chapter introduces Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM), which is the most basic form of oscillatory motion. You will study important terms such as amplitude, frequency, time period, phase, and angular frequency. The chapter also explains the mathematical representation of SHM using sine and cosine functions.
Students will also learn about energy in SHM, including how potential and kinetic energy keep converting during the motion. Examples like a simple pendulum and mass-spring system help in understanding real-life oscillations. This chapter is important for developing concepts of wave motion that will be used in higher chapters.
