Detailed Solution

When dipole is given a small angular displacement θ  about it's equilibrium position, the restoring torque will be
large tau = - ,pEsin theta = - ,pEtheta   (as sinθ =θ )
large or Ifrac{{{d^2}theta }}{{d{t^2}}} = - pEtheta   large (as tau = Ialpha = Ifrac{{{d^2}theta }}{{d{t^2}}}

large or frac{{{d^2}theta }}{{d{t^2}}} = - {omega ^2}thetalarge with {omega ^2} = frac{{pE}}{I}  large Rightarrow omega = sqrt {frac{{pE}}{I}}
