Physics
Answer
The to and fro motion of a body from its rest position is called the oscillatory motion.
Example — Motion of a pendulum of a wall clock. The bob of pendulum moves to side A from its rest position O, again comes back to position O and then moves to side B and then comes back to rest position O. This process is continuously repeated and this to and fro motion is called oscillatory motion.
