Oscillatory Systems

Oscillatory systems are systems that experience repeated, periodic changes over time, such as swings, pendulums, or vibrating strings. They have a natural rhythm or frequency at which they tend to oscillate when disturbed. These systems can be influenced by external forces or internal properties like mass and elasticity. Examples include a resonating musical instrument string or electrical circuits with alternating current. Understanding oscillatory behavior helps in designing musical instruments, clocks, and electronic devices, and in analyzing phenomena like sound waves, light waves, or mechanical vibrations.
