Examples of angular frequency in the following topics:
-
- Note that period and frequency are reciprocals of each other .
- Often periodic motion is best expressed in terms of angular frequency, represented by the Greek letter ω (omega).
- Angular frequency refers to the angular displacement per unit time (e.g., in rotation) or the rate of change of the phase of a sinusoidal waveform (e.g., in oscillations and waves), or as the rate of change of the argument of the sine function.
- Angular frequency is often represented in units of radians per second (recall there are 2π radians in a circle).
- Sinusoidal waves of various frequencies; the bottom waves have higher frequencies than those above.
-
- Phasors are used to analyze electrical systems in sinusoidal steady state and with a uniform angular frequency.
- In physics, a phase vector, or phasor, is a representation of a sinusoidal function whose amplitude (A), frequency (ω), and phase (θ) are time-invariant, as diagramed in .
- illustrated in the figure below is a cosinusoidal signal with amplitude A, frequency, and phase θ.
- The amplitude A characterizes the peak-to-peak swing of 2A, the angular frequency ω characterizes the period T=2π/ω between negative- to-positive zero crossings (or positive peaks or negative peaks), and the phase θ characterizes the time τ=−θ/ω when the signal reaches its first peak.
- In the sinusoidal steady state, every voltage and current (or force and velocity) in a system is sinusoidal with angular frequency ω.
-
- \omega$ is the driving frequency for a sinusoidal driving mechanism.
- F_0$, driving frequency $\!
- \omega$, undamped angular frequency $\!
- For a particular driving frequency called the resonance, or resonant frequency $\!
- Steady state variation of amplitude with frequency and damping of a driven simple harmonic oscillator.
-
- where v is the frequency of the light and h is Planck's constant.
- where $k={ 2\pi }/{ \lambda }$ is the angular wavenumber, and
- This was fortunately reminiscent of Bohr's observation about the angular momentum of an electron, which had already been established:
- The angular dependence of the reflected electron intensity was measured and was determined to have the same diffraction pattern as those predicted by Bragg for X-rays.
- Use the de Broglie equations to determine the wavelength, momentum, frequency, or kinetic energy of particles
-
- The primary auditory cortex,
located in the temporal lobe and connected to the auditory system, is organized
so that it responds to neighboring frequencies in the other cells of the
cortex.
- The
angular gyrus, located in the parietal lobe of the brain, is responsible for
several language processes, including number processing, spatial recognition
and attention.

- In 1914, Niels Bohr obtained the spectral frequencies of the hydrogen atom after making a number of simplifying assumptions.
- Bohr's results for the frequencies and underlying energy values were confirmed by the full quantum-mechanical analysis which uses the Schrödinger equation, as was shown in 1925–1926.
- From this, the hydrogen energy levels and thus the frequencies of the hydrogen spectral lines can be calculated.
- The angular momentum quantum number ℓ = 0, 1, 2, ... determines the magnitude of the angular momentum.
- In addition to mathematical expressions for total angular momentum and angular momentum projection of wavefunctions, an expression for the radial dependence of the wave functions must be found.
-
- Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity, expressed mathematically as $\alpha = \Delta \omega/\Delta t$ .
- Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity.
- Angular acceleration is defined as the rate of change of angular velocity.
- In equation form, angular acceleration is expressed as follows:
- The units of angular acceleration are (rad/s)/s, or rad/s2.
-
- If a string was free and not attached to anything, we know that it could oscillate at any driven frequency.
- Once the string becomes a "bound system" with specific boundary restrictions, it allows waves with only a discrete set of frequencies.
- The angular momentum is $L=m_e v r$, therefore we obtain the quantization of angular momentum:
-
- Constant angular acceleration describes the relationships among angular velocity, angle of rotation, and time.
- Simply by using our intuition, we can begin to see the interrelatedness of rotational quantities like θ (angle of rotation), ω (angular velocity) and α (angular acceleration).
- Similarly, the kinematics of rotational motion describes the relationships among rotation angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration, and time.
- As in linear kinematics where we assumed a is constant, here we assume that angular acceleration α is a constant, and can use the relation: $a=r\alpha $ Where r - radius of curve.Similarly, we have the following relationships between linear and angular values: $v=r\omega \\x=r\theta $
- Relate angle of rotation, angular velocity, and angular acceleration to their equivalents in linear kinematics
-
- In a closed system, angular momentum is conserved in a similar fashion as linear momentum.
- For objects with a rotational component, there exists angular momentum.
- Angular momentum is defined, mathematically, as L=Iω, or L=rxp.
- An object that has a large angular velocity ω, such as a centrifuge, also has a rather large angular momentum.
- After the collision, the arrow sticks to the rolling cylinder and the system has a net angular momentum equal to the original angular momentum of the arrow before the collision.
