Periodizität
Periodizität, also known as periodicity, is a fundamental concept in many scientific disciplines and mathematics. It describes the tendency of a system or phenomenon to repeat its behavior or properties at regular intervals. In mathematics, a function is considered periodic if it repeats its values in a regular or cyclical pattern. This pattern is defined by a specific length, called the period, after which the function's values start to repeat themselves. For example, trigonometric functions like sine and cosine are classic examples of periodic functions, with a period of 2π.
In physics, periodicity is observed in wave phenomena, oscillations, and crystal structures. A wave, such as
The concept of periodicity is also crucial in chemistry, particularly in the organization of the periodic table
