NEET Physics Wave Motion MCQ Question
What is the angular frequency (ω) of a wave related to?
The number of oscillations per second.
The amplitude of the wave.
The speed of sound in the medium.
The wavelength of the wave.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The angular frequency (ω) is directly related to the frequency (ν), which is defined as the number of oscillations per second. This relationship is expressed in the equation ν = ω/(2π).
