Topic 7.2: Frequency and Period of SHM

Learning Objective: 7.2.A

Describe the frequency and period of an object exhibiting SHM.

Essential Knowledge: 7.2.A.1

The period of SHM is related to the frequency $f$ of the object’s motion by the following equation: $T = \frac{1}{f}$

Essential Knowledge: 7.2.A.1.i

The period of an object–ideal-spring oscillator is given by the equation $T_s = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$ .

Essential Knowledge: 7.2.A.1.ii

The period of a simple pendulum displaced by a small angle is given by the equation $T_p = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{\ell}{g}}$ .
