Dimensional Formula of Frequency

with its Derivation


In this article, we will find the dimension of Frequency

Dimension Formula for Frequency is given by

dimension of frequency

Here
M denotes Mass
L denotes Length
T denotes Time

Derivation for expression of Dimension of Frequency

Frequency is defined as the number of vibrations or rotation per sec
$ Frequency= \frac {\text{Number of Vibration }}{Time}$

or
$Frequency = \frac {1}{\text {Time of one vibration} }$
We can derive the Dimension of frequency from the above formula

The number of Vibration is a dimensionless quantity. The dimension of Time is given by $[M^0 L^0 T^{1}]$

Therefore
$\text{Dimension of Frequency } = \frac {1}{[M^0 L^0 T^{1}]}= [M^0 L^0 T^{-1}]$

Frequency is denoted by the letter $\nu$

SI unit of Frequency is Hertz
