NEET Physics Time Period & Frequency Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The time period of an oscillator is inversely proportional to the square root of the spring constant. | Reason (R): A stiff spring corresponds to a large angular frequency and a small time period.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the formula T = 2π√(m/k), the time period T is inversely proportional to √k. A stiff spring (high k) indeed results in a smaller time period, as stated in the reason.
