Harmonic Oscillator: Free Oscillation and Damping

Description

This lecture covers the concept of harmonic oscillators, focusing on free oscillation and damping. It explains the nature of oscillatory motion, examples of oscillatory systems, and applications like clocks. The lecture delves into the mathematical modeling of harmonic oscillators, including the equations of motion, energy analysis, and the effects of damping. It also discusses the critical damping, aperiodic motion, and the interplay between potential and kinetic energy in the system.
