The term "harmonic oscillator" is used to describe any system with a "linear" restoring force that tends to return the system to an equilibrium state. There is both a classical harmonic oscillator and a quantum harmonic oscillator. Both are used as toy problems that describe many physical systems.

Energy Conservation of waves at a boundary
Consider a wave traveling on a string with velocity $\upsilon$ and mass density $\rho$ having unit length so that the mass of the string is $\rho$. Considering the string to be a simple harmonic oscil …

Physical interpretation of time constancy in damped harmonic oscillator
I know that one can mathematically derive and prove that in a damped oscillator (without external driving) the time period of oscillations is a constant. But how can one physically interpret as to why …
