Free oscillations and natural frequency
Free oscillations and natural frequency
An oscillation is repeated motion about an equilibrium position. The amplitude AAA is the maximum displacement, the period TTT is the time for one cycle, and the frequency is f=1/Tf = 1/Tf=1/T.
Step-by-step lessons on Edexcel A Level Physics Resonance and damping. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- at least 40% of the marks across the three papers require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
