Which of the following example represent (nearly) simple harmonic motion and which represent periodic but not simple harmonic motion?
General vibrations of a polyatomic molecule about its equilibrium position.

उत्तर
A polyatomic molecule has many natural frequencies of oscillation. Its vibration is the superposition of individual simple harmonic motions of a number of different molecules. Hence, it is not simple harmonic, but periodic.
