Definition: Periodic Motion

The motion which repeats itself after equal intervals of time is called periodic motion.

CBSE: Class 12

Definition: Oscillatory (Vibratory) Motion

The periodic (to and fro) and bounded motion of a body about a fixed point is called oscillatory motion.

CBSE: Class 12

Definition: Free Oscillations

When a body, capable of oscillation, is slightly displaced from its position of equilibrium and left to itself, it starts oscillating with a frequency of its own — such oscillations are called free oscillations.

CBSE: Class 12

Definition: Damped Oscillations

The oscillations in which the amplitude decreases gradually with the passage of time are called damped oscillations.

CBSE: Class 12

Definition: Maintained Oscillations

When energy is continuously supplied from outside to an oscillating system at the same rate at which energy is lost, so that the amplitude remains constant, such oscillations are called maintained oscillations.

CBSE: Class 12

Definition: Forced Oscillations

When a body oscillates under the influence of an external periodic force, not with its own natural frequency but with the frequency of the external periodic force, its oscillations are called forced oscillations.

CBSE: Class 12

Definition: Resonant Oscillations (Resonance)

The particular case of forced oscillations in which the frequency of the driving force equals the natural frequency of the oscillator, and the amplitude of oscillations is very large — such oscillations are called resonant oscillations and the phenomenon is called resonance.
