T^2 (Period squared)

Definition

T^2 represents the period squared in physics, where T is the period of an oscillating object or wave. The period refers to the time it takes for one complete cycle or oscillation to occur.

Related terms

Frequency:

Frequency is the number of cycles or oscillations that occur per unit of time. It is inversely proportional to the period, meaning as frequency increases, the period decreases.

Amplitude:

Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement or distance from equilibrium reached by an oscillating object or wave. In simple terms, it measures how far something swings or vibrates from its resting position.

Simple Harmonic Motion:

Simple harmonic motion describes an idealized type of periodic motion where an object moves back and forth around a stable equilibrium position under the influence of a restoring force proportional to its displacement.
