NEET Physics Time Period & Frequency MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the time period and frequency of oscillations is correct?
A stiffer spring (higher k) results in a shorter time period for oscillations.
The time period of an oscillator increases with higher mass.
Frequency and time period are directly proportional to each other.
The frequency of a simple pendulum is independent of its length.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A stiffer spring leads to a higher angular frequency and thus a shorter time period, which is consistent with the relationship described in the context. The time period is given by T = 2π√(m/k), indicating that a larger k yields a smaller T.
