Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a simple harmonic oscillator has a frequency of 1 Hz, what is the time period?
  • Step 1: Understand that frequency (f) is how many times something happens in one second. In this case, the frequency is given as 1 Hz.
  • Step 2: Know that the time period (T) is the time it takes for one complete cycle of the oscillator.
  • Step 3: Remember the formula that relates time period and frequency: T = 1/f.
  • Step 4: Substitute the given frequency into the formula: T = 1/1.
  • Step 5: Calculate the time period: T = 1 second.
  • Frequency and Time Period – The relationship between frequency and time period, where the time period is the reciprocal of frequency.
