What is the relationship between frequency and period in simple harmonic motion?.
- A.Frequency is the inverse of the period
- B.Frequency is equal to the period
- C.Frequency is the square of the period
- D.Frequency is proportional to the period
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Frequency is the inverse of the period
Explanation
Why this works
In simple harmonic motion, frequency (f) is defined as the number of oscillations per second, and it is the inverse of the period (T), expressed as f = 1/T. This relationship is fundamental to understanding oscillatory motion.
