IB Physics Sub-topic C1 Definitions
This page contains our IB Physics definitions for sub-topic C1. By learning each one of these definitions, you will fully cover the content for IB Physics 'Further simple harmonics'.
displacement
It is the net distance an object has travelled from its starting point in a direction
period
It is the time it takes to complete one oscillation
phase difference
It is the measure of the alignment of two oscillations
Simple harmonic motion
It is the motion of an object where its acceleration is proportional to and towards its displacement
