NEET Physics Time Period & Frequency MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the time period and frequency of oscillations is correct?
The time period is directly proportional to the mass of the oscillating object in simple harmonic motion.
The frequency of oscillation increases with an increase in the spring constant for a spring-mass system.
The time period of a simple pendulum is dependent on the mass of the pendulum.
The time period of oscillation is independent of the amplitude of the oscillation in simple harmonic motion.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The time period of a simple pendulum is independent of mass, and the relationship between the spring constant and time period indicates that as the spring constant increases, the frequency increases, leading to a shorter time period. Thus, option B correctly reflects the relationship.
