The formula to calculate the frequency of oscillation for simple harmonic motion (SHM) is:
\[ f = \frac{1}{T} \]
Where:
Frequency refers to the number of occurrences of a periodic event per time and is measured in cycles/second.
Time period SHM is the time required for the periodic motion.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ f = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2 \, \text{Hertz} \]
The frequency of oscillation is approximately 0.2 Hertz.
| Time Period (s) | Frequency (Hz) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1.00 |
| 2 | 0.50 |
| 3 | 0.33 |
| 4 | 0.25 |
| 5 | 0.20 |
| 6 | 0.17 |
| 7 | 0.14 |
| 8 | 0.13 |
| 9 | 0.11 |
| 10 | 0.10 |
