Harmonic Oscillations
摘要
In an oscillatory system, the oscillating entity (called the particle) passes the equilibrium (neutral) position and changes its direction at the turning points. The harmonic oscillation is one of the most fundamental forms of such an oscillatory motion. A sine or cosine function whose argument is a linear function of time generally expresses a harmonic oscillation. Fourier theorem states that a real function can be expanded as a series of sine, cosine, and their harmonics [1–3]. Therefore, the analysis of harmonic oscillation is imperative to understand oscillation dynamics.
