Everything about Angular frequency

Rate of change of angle

In physics, angular frequency, also called angular speed and angular rate, is a scalar measure of the angle rate or the temporal rate of change of the phase argument of a sinusoidal waveform or sine function . Angular frequency is the magnitude of the pseudovector quantity angular velocity. Wikipedia →
