What is periodic motion ?

Answer:- A motion which repeat itself after a regular interval of time is called periodic motion. Osicallatory motion is a special case of periodic motion in which the particle move to & fro. And SHM is the special case of Oscillatory motion in which the particle move same displacement in either side of the mean position.
