Concept explainers

Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards…

Simple Pendulum

A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.

Oscillation

In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion tak…

Textbook Question

Chapter 14, Problem 84GP

An oxygen atom at a particular site within a DNA molecule can be made to execute simple harmonic motion when illuminated by infrared light. The oxygen atom is hound with spring-like chemical bond to a phosphorus atom, which rigidly attached to the DNA backbone. The oscillation o the oxygen atom occurs with frequency f = 3.7 × 10¹³ HZ. If the oxygen atom at this site is chemically replaced with a sulfur atom, the spring constant of the bond i unchanged (sulfur is just below oxygen in the Periodic Table) Predict the frequency for a DNA molecule after the sulfur substitution.

Definition Definition Special type of oscillation where the force of restoration is directly proportional to the displacement of the object from its mean or initial position. If an object is in motion such that the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to its displacement (which helps the moving object return to its resting position) then the object is said to undergo a simple harmonic motion. An object undergoing SHM always moves like a wave.
