Question

What are the amplitude and frequency of the oscillation?

Solution

Oscillation: -

  1. An object moving back and forth in relation to its average location is said to be oscillating.
  2. The object could potentially oscillate endlessly in a frictionless environment, but as this is not realistic, the object must reach equilibrium.

The amplitude of the oscillation: -

  1. The separation between the equilibrium or mean position and either extreme is known as the oscillation's amplitude.
  2. The particle oscillates completely back and forth from its mean position.

The frequency of the oscillation: -

  1. The quantity of oscillations that occur per second is known as the oscillation's frequency.
  2. The number of oscillations in one second, or frequency (f), is represented as f = 1/T if the particle completes one oscillation in T seconds.
  3. Hertz is the unit used to express oscillation frequency.
