Physics-Time Period & Frequency

NEET Physics Time Period & Frequency MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

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

A

A shorter time period corresponds to a higher frequency of oscillation.

B

The time period decreases with an increase in mass of the oscillating object.

C

Frequency is independent of the stiffness of the spring used in oscillations.

D

A longer time period indicates a smaller amplitude of oscillation.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the NCERT context, a large angular frequency and hence a small period is associated with a stiff spring and a light block. This implies that a shorter time period corresponds to a higher frequency of oscillation.
