Question

what is meant by the period of a pendulum? the time interval of a to - and - fro swing the time for a pendulum to swing from one side to the other the distance a pendulum covers in one to - and - fro swing the number of oscillations per second of a pendulum

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum is defined as the time taken for it to complete one full to - and - fro swing. The time for a pendulum to swing from one side to the other is half of the period. The distance covered in a to - and - fro swing is related to the arc - length of the pendulum's motion and not the period. The number of oscillations per second is the frequency.

Answer:

The time interval of a to - and - fro swing
