You want to describe the harmonic motion of a swing. You find out that it takes 2 seconds for the swing to complete one cycle. What is the swing's period and frequency?

The** frequency** of a harmonic motion is the inverse of its time period . The frequency of the** **swing that takes place in 20 seconds is 0.5 Hz.
What is harmonic motion ?
The** motion** in which the restoring force of the moving body is directly proportional to the displacement of the body from its mean position is called a harmonic motion .
Frequency of a wave is the number of wave cycles obtained per unit time. It is the inverse of time period. The intensity of the wave and energy as well is directly proportional to the frequency.
Given that time period of the swing = 2 seconds
frequency = 1/ T
v = 1/ 2 s = 0.5 s⁻¹ or 0.5 Hz.
Therefore, the frequency of the swing is 0.5 Hz within the time period of 2 s.

The swing has a period of 2 seconds, which is the time it takes to complete one full cycle. The frequency of the swing is 0.5 Hz, indicating it completes half a cycle every second. These concepts are key to understanding harmonic motion.
