CBSE Class 11-science Answered
Why sine and cosine functions are used in the derivatives of oscillation functions?

Expert Answer
Oscillatory motion is periodic in time. The simplest periodic function is a sin and cos function. So it is used to describe oscillatory motion.
This was shown by Fourier. His result is that:any periodic function can be expressed as a superposition of sine and cosine functions of different time periods with suitable coefficients.
