Oscillatory motion
When an object or a particle moves back and forth repeatedly for some duration
of time its motion is said to be oscillatory (or vibratory).
The time period is defined as the time taken by a particle to complete one
oscillation. It is usually denoted by T. For one complete revolution, the time taken
is t = T, therefore
where T represents the time period. Suppose the time t is replaced by t + T, then
the function

The number of cycles (or revolutions) per second is called angular frequency.
SI unit for angular frequency is rad/s
ω= 2𝜋𝑓
Phase
The phase of a vibrating particle at any instant completely specifies the state of
the particle.
where ωt + φ0 = φ is called the phase of the vibrating particle. At time t = 0s
(initial time), the phase φ = φ0 is called epoch (initial phase)
Phase difference : If two particles performs S.H.M and their
equation are y1 = a sin (ωt + φ1) and y2 = a sin (ωt + φ2) then phase
difference Δφ = (ωt + φ2) – (ωt + φ1) = φ2 – φ1
