7.2 Frequency and Period of SHM

Describe the frequency and period of an object exhibiting SHM. TOPIC 7.2 Frequency and Period of SHM

• The period of SHM is related to the frequency f of the object’s motion by the following equation: 1T= f
  • i. The period of an object–ideal-spring oscillator is given by the equation
  • ii. The period of a simple pendulum displaced by a small angle is given by the equation AP Physics 1: Algebra-Based Course and Exam Description Oscillations UNIT 7
