    Time period and frequency of its oscillation are 3 sec and 0.33 hertz.

    Explanation:

    A pendulum is used to describe the too and flow motion of it which is caused due to gravity. A bob consisting of less mass suspended from upper surface by pivot and it is the one which swings due to gravity.

    Given:

    A simple pendulum makes 12 oscillations in 4 seconds.

    time period=?

    frequency=?

    As pendulum makes 12 oscillations in 4 seconds.

    The time taken by pendulum for making one oscillation is 12/4 sec = 3 sec.

    Time period = 3 sec.

    Frequency of the pendulum's oscillations is found by the formula

    Frequency = 1/T = 1/3 = 0.33 Hz

    ∴Time period and frequency of its oscillation are 3 sec and 0.33 hertz.
