Question
Define the frequency of simple harmonic motion.
Advertisements
Solution
The number of oscillations produced by the particle per second is called frequency. It is denoted by f. SI unit for frequency is s−1 or hertz (Hz).
Mathematically, frequency is related to the time period by f = `1/"T"`
