NEET Physics Time Period & Frequency MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations regarding the time period and frequency of oscillations is correct?
The time period is inversely proportional to the frequency; a longer time period means a lower frequency.
The time period is directly proportional to the frequency; increasing the time period increases the frequency.
The time period is measured in hertz, while frequency is measured in seconds.
The time period of a simple pendulum is independent of its mass and depends only on its length and gravitational acceleration.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The time period (T) is defined as the smallest interval of time after which motion repeats, and frequency (f) is its reciprocal (f = 1/T). Therefore, a longer time period corresponds to a lower frequency, making option A correct.
