Question

What Is Oscillation Frequency?

Answer 1

1. Oscillatory Motion is periodic to and fro motion and repeats in a particular pattern again and again.
2. Oscillatory motion is defined as the to and fro motion of an object from its mean position.
3. The number of cycles completed by oscillating particles in one second is known as the frequency of the oscillating particles.
4. The frequency of a sinusoidal wave is the number of complete oscillations made by any wave element per unit of time.
5. It is denoted by $\nu$.
6. The unit of frequency is ${\sec }^{-1}$.
7. The most common S.I. unit of frequency is $h\mathrm{ertz}\left(\mathrm{Hz}\right)$.
8. The frequency is equal to the reciprocal of the time period of an oscillation.
   $\text{frequency=}\frac{1}{\text{Time period}}$
