The frequency and period of a pendulum are affected by the length of the pendulum, the gravitational acceleration, and the angle at which the pendulum is released.
The frequency of a pendulum is directly proportional to its length, meaning that increasing the length will increase the frequency and decrease the period. This relationship is described by the equation f = 1/T, where f is frequency and T is period.
No, the mass of the pendulum bob does not affect its frequency or period. This is because the mass does not play a role in the forces acting on the pendulum, which are only determined by the length, angle, and gravitational acceleration.
Changing the angle at which a pendulum is released does not affect its frequency or period. This is because the pendulum will always swing back and forth at the same rate, regardless of the angle at which it is released.
There is no theoretical limit to the frequency and period of a pendulum, as they can continue to oscillate forever as long as there is no external force acting on it. However, friction and air resistance will eventually cause the pendulum to slow down and come to a stop.
