Cornelius Ingram · Answer 1

frequency, f = 6.7 MHz = 6.7 x 10^6 Hz

Time period is defined as the time taken by the oscillating body to complete one oscillation.

the formula for the time period is

T = 1 / f = 1 / (6.7 x 10^6) = 1.5 x 10^-7 second

The angular frequency is given by

ω = 2 π f = 2 x 3.14 x 6.7 x 10^6

ω = 4.2 x 10^7 rad/s
