How does the oscillation frequency compare when being horizontal and when being on an inclined plane (assuming frictionless).

I thought this:

When on Horizontal surface

frequency = angular frequency (w) / 2∏

Since frequency does not depend on acceleration, the frequency would remain the same?

why? :wink:
 
HI,
you are describing frequency in what field exactly ?

It depends on the problem, a Radar EM wave travels with constant speed C , but the frequency is dynamic, it can start at 150 KHz and move toward 450Khz

Hi KHMOU YOUSSEF! WELCOME TO PF! :smile:

My guess is it's a mass on the end of a spring. :wink:
