Question
Define the terms: oscillation, frequency and time period in relation to the simple pendulum.
Answer
Oscillation: The repetitive back-and-forth motion of a pendulum.
Frequency: The number of oscillations or cycles a pendulum completes in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz).
Time Period: The time it takes for a pendulum to complete one full oscillation or cycle. It is the reciprocal of frequency and is typically measured in seconds.
