Question

Every periodic motion is oscillatory, but every oscillatory motion is not periodic.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. The motion that repeats itself after an interval of time is called periodic motion.
2. Ex: Revolution of planets around the sun, tuning fork, etc.
3. The to and fro motion of a body is called oscillatory motion.
4. Ex: simple pendulum, spring, etc.
5. Revolution of planets around a Sun is a periodic motion but not an oscillatory motion. It implies that every periodic motion is not oscillatory motion.

Hence, the given statement is false.
