Oscillatory motion is characterised by repetitive back-and-forth movement around a central point, known as the equilibrium position. This motion is seen in systems like pendulums and springs. For instance, a swinging pendulum oscillates around its resting position, moving back and forth in a regular pattern. Key concepts include amplitude, the maximum displacement from equilibrium; frequency, the number of oscillations per unit time; and period, the time taken for one complete cycle.
