Lecture

Harmonic Oscillators: Energy and Motion

Description

This lecture covers the concept of harmonic oscillators, focusing on the energy involved in non-damped oscillations. It explains the relationship between potential and kinetic energy in the context of a spring-based harmonic oscillator. The lecture also delves into the conditions for an oscillator to exhibit harmonic motion, using examples like a simple pendulum to illustrate the theoretical concepts discussed.
