Angular Frequency
Linked via "Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)"
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:
$$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$$
