If there is a rotation, "angular velocity" and "angular
frequency" is the same thing. However, "angular frequency" can also
refer to situations where there is no rotation.

In physics, angular frequency ω (also referred to by the terms angular speed, radial frequency, circular frequency, orbital frequency, radian frequency, and pulsatance) is a scalar measure of rotation rate. Angular frequency (or angular speed) is the magnitude of the vector quantity angular velocity. The term angular frequency vector is sometimes used as a synonym for the vector quantity angular velocity.[1]
Angular frequency differs from frequency by factor '2Pie'. It
has the dimension of reciprocal time(same as angular speed). Its
unit is radian/sec. Or you can simply say that angular frequency is
the magnitude of angular velocity(a vector quantity).

Scalar. Angular frequency vector is roughly synonymous with
angular velocity.

Angular frequency is related to linear frequency as
w = 2 x pi x f wher w = angular frequency
linear frequency is cycles per second, or number of oscillations
per second, called Hertz
angular frequency for f = 1 = 2 pi f = 2 pi, or one revolution.
It has units of radians per second
