The greater the inertia of an oscillating object, the greater the time period which therefore lowers the frequency of its oscillations. Depending on how the waves are displaced indicates how big the oscillations. The elasticity of a spring also can be quantified by a measure of a spring’s compliance. Compliance is inversely related to stiffness, which means that springs that have relatively little…
