Why is SHM Taken as the Projection of Uniform Circular Motion? | Class 11 Physics | JEE/NEET

Why do we study SHM by linking it to the projection of uniform circular motion?
In this video, we explore a powerful way to understand Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) using the projection (shadow) of a particle in Uniform Circular Motion (UCM). This visual and conceptual method makes SHM extremely easy to understand for Class 11 Physics, JEE, and NEET students.

By connecting SHM with circular motion, you will clearly understand phase angle, amplitude, angular frequency, displacement, velocity, acceleration, and why oscillations follow a sine function. This concept is highly important for JEE Mains, JEE Advanced, NEET Physics, CBSE Class 11, and school board exams.

📌 What You Will Learn in This Video

Why SHM is derived from circular motion

How uniform circular motion generates SHM naturally
