Problem

The oscillatory motion of particles on a wave is characterised by the quantities period, frequency and angular frequency. (i) Define the period TT and the frequency ν\nu of a periodic motion. (ii) Derive the relation ν=1T\nu=\dfrac{1}{T}. (iii) Show that the angular frequency ω\omega is related to the frequency by ω=2πν\omega=2\pi\nu.
