Pendulum
The
amplitude is the maximum angle reached by the pendulum. So it depends on
the angle, at which the bob is released. The
frequency (f) is the number of cycles that pass the observer in a
given time. Hertz is the unit of frequency,
and just means how many cycles per second. The
period (P) is the time for a cycle to pass the observer. Since
frequency and
period are exact inverses of each other, there is a very basic formula you can
use to calculate one from the other: f = 1 / T
or
T = 1 / f
