What is undamped oscillation?

Oscillations (vibrations) are damped when they are changed by some action. For example, touching an oscillating (vibrating) tuning fork with your finger is said to be damping it. The oscillation (number of Hertz) of an electrical oscillator, such as a TV tuner, is changed by varying the settings of the tuner.


Damping progressively reduces the amplitude of oscillation?

Vibratory motion of ideal systems in the absence of any friction or resistance continues indefinitely under the action of a restoring force. Practically, in all systems, the force of friction slows down the motion, so the systems do not oscillate indefinitely. The friction reduces the mechanical energy of the system as time passes, and the motion is said to be DAMPED. This damping progressively reduces the AMPLITUDE of OSCILLATION.


What does oscillate mean?

Oscillations are reoccurring and regular fluctuations between particular states within a system. These states could be discrete, such as a car's turn signal blinking on and off; continuous, such as a wave; damped, such as the gradual decay of the amplitude of a vibrating guitar string; or driven, such as the forced motion of someone on a swing. The states involved in an oscillation don't have to just be mechanical in nature. For example, the stock market oscillates between a bull and a bear market, or your favorite style of music may oscillate between jazz and blues. Even driving to and from work everyday along the same route at the same time is an oscillation. The key things to remember are that oscillations require a "back and forth" motion, and that this motion must happen again and again and again. Thus, bouncing a basketball off the ground and then catching it isn't an oscillation, because the "back and forth" motion only happens once. Additionally, the Earth's orbit around the Sun isn't an oscillation, because, while it does indeed happen over and over again, the motion isn't "back and forth."

What is the example of oscillation?

Motion of pendulum.


What is the difference between oscillation and periodic motion?

Oscillation refers to repetitive back-and-forth motion around a central point, such as swinging or vibrating. Periodic motion is a broader term that includes any motion that repeats at regular intervals, like the motion of a pendulum. Oscillation is a type of periodic motion, but not all periodic motion involves oscillation.


What A to and fro motion is called?

A back-and-forth motion is often called oscillation or reciprocation. It describes a repeated movement in opposite directions.

What is an up and down motion called?

An up and down motion is commonly referred to as vertical motion.


What is the frequency of this damped oscillation?

The frequency of a damped oscillation is the rate at which it repeats its motion. It is determined by the damping factor and the natural frequency of the system.


Is walking a in-phase oscillation or out of phase oscillation?

Walking is a form of out-of-phase oscillation, where the motion of the legs alternates with each step. This creates a continuous and coordinated pattern of movement necessary for walking.

What is a a wave where the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion?

A transverse wave is a type of wave where the oscillation of particles is perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. Examples include light waves, water waves, and seismic S waves.


What is a repeated back-and-forth are up-and-down motion?

A repeated back-and-forth or up-and-down motion is known as oscillation. This type of motion occurs regularly between two points or within a specific range. Oscillation is commonly seen in pendulums, springs, and waves.
