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 T is inversely proportional to the frequency f.
The time period of a pendulum increases with increasing amplitude.
The frequency of a damped oscillator remains constant regardless of amplitude.
The time period T of a simple pendulum is independent of the mass of the bob.
Correct Answer
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.
