Question

Time taken by an object to complete one oscillation is called __________.

• A. Frequency
• B. Time period
• C. Amplitude
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Time period

Explanation of correct option,

In the case of option B (Time period),

1. The particle's time period is the amount of time it takes to complete one oscillation.
2. The time period is represented by T.
3. Considering the reciprocal of the frequency produces the oscillation's frequency.

The explanation for incorrect options,

In the case of option A (frequency),

1. The number of oscillations the particle does in one second is called its frequency.
2. The SI unit of frequency is hertz.

In the case of option C (amplitude),

1. The distance between the average or equilibrium position and either extreme is called amplitude.
2. The SI unit of amplitude is a meter.

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
