Definition

The quality of occurring at equal intervals of time, often used in contexts like physics or music.

Example

The isochronism of the pendulum ensures that it swings with a consistent period, regardless of the amplitude.

Conversation

Have you ever heard of isochronism in physics?

Yeah, I think it has to do with things happening at the same time, right?

Exactly! It’s fascinating how certain processes can be so synchronized with isochronism.

For sure, it really makes you think about how time works in different scenarios.

Root Explanation

Isochronism → It is formed from "iso-" (from Greek "isos", meaning equal) and "chronos" (meaning time). The term refers to the property of occurring at equal intervals of time.

Memory Tip

Think of 'equal' ('iso-') intervals of 'time' ('chronos') to remember that isochronism refers to events happening at the same time.
