what is diff betweeen oscillating and periodic function?????????/

probably what I think is that a periodic function is one which repeats or gives the same value after a particular interval which is its period......an oscillating function also repeats itself but not after a fixed interval.....

yeah

"ALL OSCILLATORY FUNCTN R PERIODIC ,BUT ALL PERIODIC R NOT OSCILLATORY. CORRECT ME IF I M WRONG### "

wrong

all periodic functions are oscillatory but all oscillatory functions are not periodic

no need to correct me because i am not wrong

a body moving in a circular motion is a periodic motion but not oscillatory but a simple pendulum is oscillatory as well as periodic hence all oscillatory are periodoc but all periodic are not oscillatory

by definition a periodic function is one which repeats itself when some constant value is added to its dependant variable

f(x + nk) = f(x) for all x, n natural number and k the period

sin(1/x) is an oscillatory function but not periodic because the decrements made in x to get same value go on decreasing as we go towards 0

this is a question of functions and not of physics
