What is Time period: Definition and 124 Discussions

The categorization of the past into discrete, quantified named blocks of time is called periodization. This is a list of such named time periods as defined in various fields of study. Major categorization systems include cosmological (time periods in the origin and mass evolution of the universe), geological (time periods in the origin and evolution of the Earth), anthropological and historical (time periods in the origin and evolution of human civilization).

    What is the basic relation between frequency and time period?

    I don't have a homework question I just wanted to try and understand the relationship between time and frequency for example when f=2.0 Hz, T=0.5 seconds or when f=0.5 Hz, T=2.0 seconds if I were only give T=2.0 seconds how do I know what f is??

    How to determine the time period.

    Suppose I found a time machine and clicked the 'go' button, and landed up sometime in the future. I then meet a bunch of humanoid creatures and manage to communicate with them. I ask them what year it is, but they just tell me it's 1050 after the death of the 'mighty one', indicating that no...

    Time period measured in double slit experiment

    In the standard double slit experiment, what time period is measured between the emission (t=0) and detection (t=T) of a single photon? I ask because clearly the photon does not take a single, well-defined path, as it would if it were a classical particle. Suppose that I set up an experiment...

    Deriving the Pendulum Time Period Formula from "Fundamentals of Physics

    In the book "Fundamentals of Physics" by H D Young and Freedman,there is formula about the time period of simple pendulum which uses sine function in a complex way which i think is obtained by series expansion of sine function either by Maclurin or Tayler series. Can anyone please tell me how...

    Time Period & Oscillations: Engineer's Best Option

    My question is that going by the definition of time period that is, "the time required to complete one oscillation". Now, if I say the best option for an engineer should be that , the building should not oscillate , am I right? That could happen if the time period of a system is very...
