Question

If a pendulum makes 10 oscillations in 5 seconds, what is its oscillation frequency?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \rm{Frequency = 2 hertz}}$

Explanation:

We know that,

"Frequency refers to the number of occurrences of a periodic event per time and is measured in cycles/second."

According to Question,

⇒ 5 seconds = 10 oscillations

⇒ 1 second = 10/5 oscillations

⇒ 1 second = 2 oscillations

In one second, there are 2 oscillations or cycles. The unit of frequency is Hertz. Hence, the frequency is 2 Hertz.
