Harmonic motion is a periodic oscillation observed in various natural and technological contexts. Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is a key type where the restoring force is proportional to displacement. This concept extends to damped and forced harmonic motion, with applications in engineering, physics, and medicine. Understanding these motions is crucial for analyzing vibrations, electrical circuits, and wave propagation, impacting fields from quantum mechanics to seismic engineering.
