underdamped oscillations
Underdamped oscillations refer to a type of oscillatory motion where the system returns to equilibrium after being displaced, but with oscillations that decrease gradually over time due to damping. This occurs when the damping coefficient is less than the critical damping value, resulting in a slower return to equilibrium and oscillations that persist for longer periods.
