Displacement (s): the total distance that a simple harmonic oscillator moves
from its equilibrium point - measured in meters (m).
Amplitude (A): the maximum displacement of a simple harmonic oscillator
- measured in meters (m)
Frequency (f): the number of oscillations per second - measured in Hertz (Hz or s-1)
Period (T): the time required for an oscillator to complete one cycle
- measured in seconds (s)
*** Let's take a closer look at the relationship between frequency and period.
Frequency is measured in cycles per second, whereas period is measured in time per cycle. They are reciprocals of each other!
***
Therefore: f = 1/T and T =
1/f
