Question

Q2. What is the relation between ‘time-period’ and ‘frequency’ of an oscillating body?

Answer 1

Answer:

TIme period (T) is the amount of time an oscillating body takes to repeat itself, and Frequency (f or

ν

) is the number of times it repeats in one second or unit time.

If you measure time in s (seconds) then frequency is measured in Hz (cycles or periods per second).

Frequency is inversely proportional to the time period. i.e, f = 1/T

Answer 2

Answer:

The time period and frequency of oscillation of a body are inversely proportional, that is the time period T and frequency f of an oscillating body related by the equation,

$f=\frac{1}{T}$     

Explanation:

The time period of oscillation T is the time taken by the body to complete one oscillation. For example, the time period of a pendulum is the time taken when it starts from one extreme position and moves to the other extreme position through the mean position then turns to the first extreme position from where it starts

Now, the frequency of oscillation f is the number of oscillations in unit time.

so we can relate the  time period T and frequency f of an oscillating body as follows

$f=\frac{1}{T}$
