Angular frequency from frequency

An oscillator in a school laboratory oscillator has frequency \(1.5\,\text{Hz}\). Calculate its angular frequency. Use the diagram labels before calculating the requested value. Enter the numerical result and choose the interpretation that matches the wave physics.

Worked practice: physics data and result

Read the physical quantities first, then calculate the result and state what it means.
