Physics-II(Optics & Waves)

This module introduces students to the fundamentals of oscillatory motion, beginning with simple harmonic motion (SHM) and extending into more complex real-world systems including damped and forced oscillators. It provides a deep conceptual understanding of mechanical and electrical oscillators, using mathematical modeling, phasor representation, and energy analysis. Emphasis is placed on the behavior of underdamped, overdamped, and critically damped systems, as well as resonance and power absorption in forced systems. The analogies drawn between mechanical and electrical oscillators help bridge physics with engineering applications, making this module foundational for courses in vibrations, acoustics, mechatronics, and control systems.
