The period of an oscillation in simple harmonic motion (SHM) is the time taken for one complete cycle of the motion. It is denoted by the symbol "T" and is the reciprocal of the frequency (f).
In this case, the frequency (f) is given as 50 hertz. We can calculate the period (T) using the formula:
T = 1 / f
Substituting the given frequency into the formula:
T = 1 / 50
T = 0.02 seconds
Therefore, the period of the vibration is 0.02 seconds.
