If a particle is rotating uniformly along a circular path, its projection would execute _ along diameter.
Correct answer: C. SHM
- A. Vibratory motion
- B. Rotatory motion
- C. SHM
- D. Translational motion
Explanation
When a body is moving along the circumference of circle with constant angular velocity, then its projection performs SHM along the diameter of circle.

About Waves
Progressive waves transfer energy through oscillations, with wavelength, frequency, amplitude and wave speed related by v = fλ; sound speed depends on the medium. Superposition produces interference and stationary waves in strings and organ pipes, while simple harmonic motion describes the oscillation itself and must be distinguished from wave propagation.
