NCERT Solutions for class 11 Physics Chapter 14: Oscillations

NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Physics Chapter 14: Oscillations deals with concepts of oscillatory motion. Oscillation is a time-dependent measure of some recurrent variation. Oscillation can be referred to as a body that is in constant motion also known as oscillatory motion when the body moves in a to and fro motion around the same point at a uniform interval of time.

Class 11 Physics Chapter 14 Oscillations belongs to Unit 10 Oscillations and Waves which has a weightage of 10 marks in the CBSE Class 11 Physics Examination. The chapter deals with simple harmonic motion and uniform circular motion.

Class 11 Physics Chapter 14 – Concepts Covered

Oscillations are regular variations in magnitude or position about a central point, especially of a voltage or an electric current.

It is the back and forth movement in a regular rhythm. For example, the pendulum of a clock, in a swing, etc.

Periodic Motion is a periodically repeating motion that is a function of time.

- Time Period refers to the period of time after which the motion repeats itself.

- Frequency is the number of repetitions per unit of time (v = 1/T).

Oscillatory Motions is the to and fro, and then back motion. It can be seen in both non-periodic and periodic motion.

Oscillatory motions operate upon a restoring force or torque that directs its motion towards the equilibrium position.

Simple Harmonic Motions are oscillations where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from the mean position, therefore creating a fixed set of motion.

Three primary conditions that are required for a simple harmonic motion are-

A position where there is a stable equilibrium that results from a zero potential energy.
The energy is conserved, i.e., ther is no dissipation of energy.
The acceleration is proportional to the displacement.

A simple pendulum is a common example of bodies showing simple harmonic motion. An ideal pendulum consists of a heavy point mass body that is suspended by a weightless inextensible and perfectly flexible string from rigid support about which the body is free to oscillate.

The time period of a simple pendulum of length ‘l’ is –

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt {l \over g}$
