Oscillations

Summary

  • Period is how long it takes in seconds, frequency is how many times in a second.
  • T=1/f
  • Mass spring oscillator has period T=2\pi\sqrt{m/k}
  • Small angle pendulum has period T=2\pi\sqrt{l/g}
  • Pendulum formula only works on small angles (~15$\degree$), larger angles increase period.
