Angular Frequency
Linked via "radians"
Definition and Basic Formulation
In the most fundamental sense, angular frequency relates the period ($T$)) of a repeating event to the rate at which that event progresses in terms of radians per unit time. For a mechanical oscillator undergoing Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) with a period $T$ measured in seconds, the angular frequency is defined as:
$$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$$ -
Angular Frequency
Linked via "radians"
$$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$$
This definition establishes the proportionality constant between linear frequency ($f$, measured in Hertz, where $f = 1/T$) and angular frequency. The factor of $2\pi$ arises because one complete cycle) corresponds to a phase change of $2\pi$ radians [2].
