Class 11PhysicsOscillationsPeriodic, Oscillatory motion and its characteristics and types of SHM and Equation of SHM
MediumWhat is the difference between periodic motion and simple harmonic motion?
(N/A)
| Periodic Motion | Simple Harmonic Motion $(SHM)$ |
|---|---|
| $(1)$ All $SHM$ is periodic motion,but not all periodic motion is $SHM$. | $(1)$ $SHM$ is a specific type of periodic motion. |
| $(2)$ The restoring force is not necessarily proportional to the displacement from the mean position. | $(2)$ The restoring force is always directly proportional to the displacement and directed towards the mean position $(F = -kx)$. |
