where ''T'' is the period (measured in [[second|seconds]]) and ''f'' is the [[frequency]] (measured in [[Hertz]]).

Using angularAngular frequency insteadis therefore a simple multiple of ordinary frequency. However, using angular frequency is convenientoften preferable in many applications, as it avoids the excessive appearance of &pi;. In fact, it is used in many fields of physics involving periodic phenomena, such as [[quantum mechanics]] and [[electrodynamics]].

For example:

Where ''T'' is the period and ''v'' is the tangential velocity of a point about the axis of rotation.
