Physics-Time Period & Frequency

NEET Physics Time Period & Frequency MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11

Which of the following statements about the time period and frequency of oscillations is correct?

A

The time period T is inversely proportional to the frequency f.

B

The time period of a pendulum increases with increasing amplitude.

C

The frequency of a damped oscillator remains constant regardless of amplitude.

D

The time period T of a simple pendulum is independent of the mass of the bob.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Statement A is correct as the relationship between time period and frequency is given by T = 1/f. Statement B is incorrect because the time period is approximately constant for small amplitudes. Statement C is wrong since the frequency can change due to damping effects. Statement D is misleading as the time period only depends on the length and gravitational acceleration, not the mass.
