Question

The bye-bye gesture, we do using hands is an example of

• A. Periodic motion
• B. Oscillatory motion
• C. Linear motion
• D. Circular motion

Answer 1

The correct option is B Oscillatory motion

The motion of the hand is an oscillatory motion, as the motion repeats in a finite interval of time and the to and fro motion happens in a given time period
As the hand moves to one extreme, a restoring force acts in the opposite direction to move it back to the mean and then to the other extreme position. Thus, the bye-bye gesture of the hand is an oscillating motion
The correct option is (b)
