Question 6

The time period of a simple pendulum is the time taken by it to travel from

(a) A to B and back to A

(b) O to A, A to B and B to A

(c) B to A, A to B and B to O

(d) A to B

Open in App

Solution

One complete oscillation means going from one extreme position to another and then coming back to same initial position. Time taken in one oscillation is equal to the time period of the pendulum. So, option (a) is the answer.
