Study Notes
Angular Frequency and Phase Shift
- The unit of measurement for the angular frequency, ω, is rad/s (radians per second).
- The amplitude, A, in the equation $x(t) = A \cos(\omega t + \phi)$ represents the maximum displacement of the oscillation from the equilibrium position.
- The unit of measurement for the phase shift, ϕ, is radians (rad) or degrees (°).
- The phase shift, Ï•, in the equation $x(t) = A \cos(\omega t + \phi)$, indicates the amount of shift of the oscillation from the reference position.
