 BASIC COMPETENCE

Describe the vibration and the

wave concept and their
parameters
Lear nin g Ob je ctiv es
Students are able to:

3. Explain the concept of vibration by

connecting relevant nature phenomenon.
4. Measure the period and frequency of a
vibration of something hung with a rope or
spring
5. Use the concept and principle of vibration to
calculate the frequency or period. (Using T =
1/f or f = 1/T)
KEY WORD S

1. VIBRATION
2. FREQUENCY
3. PERIOD
4. AMPLITUDE
 150

EXAMPLE:
IF THE PENDULUM IS PULLED TO 150,
WHAT WILL HAPPEN ?
 150 150

POINT A : INITIAL POINT

POINT B : FINAL POINT
POINT O : EQUILIBRIUM
ONE VIBRATION IS DEFINED AS ONE
CLOSED TRACK, MEANING THE TRACK
OF A MOVEMENT COMING BACK TO ITS
ORGINAL PLACE (INITIAL POINT).

 PERIOD
PERIOD IS THE TIME NEEDED
FOR ONE VIBRATION

PERIOD IS
SYMBOLIZED BY T.
PERIOD IS COUNTED
IN SECONDS.
 FREQUENCY

FREQUENCY IS THE NUMBER OF

VIBRATIONS HAPPENING IN
EVERY SECOND.

THE UNIT OF FREQUENCY ( f )

IS 1 / SECOND, WHICH IS ALSO
CALLED ONE HERTZ OR Hz.

A FREQUENCY OF 1.000 HERZT IS

ALSO CALLED 1 KILOHERTZ OR
1 kHz.
THE RELATION BETWEEN
THE FREQUENCY AND
PERIOD OF VIBRATION IS

f = 1/T

OR

T = 1/f
 EXAMPLE :
ACCORDING TO THE FIGURE BELOW,
IF IN ITS MOTION PASSING THROUGH
POINTS A – O – B – O – A THE
PENDULUM NEEDS 20 SECONDS,
THE FREQUENCY OF THE VIBRATION
OF THE SWING IS 0.05
_____HERTZ
Known :
Vibration = 1
Time = 20 S
Asked : f ………?
Answered:
B O A f = vibration/time
= 1/20 = 0.05

 CONCLUSION

VIBRATION IS AN OSCILLATION
MOVEMENT THROUGH A POINT
OF EQUILIBRIUM.

PERIOD IS THE TIME NEEDED FOR

ONE VIBRATION

FREQUENCY IS THE NUMBER OF

VIBRATIONS HAPPENING IN EVERY
SECOND.
