Yes, the period doesn't influence or depend on the amplitude of vibrations.
Tides and earthquakes have vibrations with long periods and enormous amplitude.
The timing crystal in a 'quartz' wristwatch has vibrations with short period and tiny amplitude.
The sound playing through a loudspeaker or a set of earbuds can sweep through the full frequency range
of human hearing ... changing the period of the vibrations from 0.05 second to 0.00005 second ... while
maintaining constant amplitude.

What is a way of saying a large vibration?
Vibrations are oscillations of matter, therefore can be described as waves and such terms as frequency, wavelength, amplitude etc.. can be used. Therefore something that has "large vibration" has a high amplitude i.e. a high value of max displacement from a zero value during a period of oscillation.
An object that completes 100 vibrations in 5 seconds has a period of?
It completes 20 vibrations per second, the the period is 1/20 of a second.
Does a higher frequency mean fewer vibrations?
No, it means more vibrations in a given period of time.
What will be the effect of time period of a simple pendulum if its mass is doubled and its amplitude is halved?
The PERIOD of a Simple Pendulum is affected by its LENGTH, and NOT by its Mass or the amplitude of its swing. So, in your case, the Period of the Pendulum's swing would remain UNCHANGED!
Does the time period of oscillation depend on the displacement from the equilibrium position?
As long as angular amplitude is kept small, the period does not depend on the angular amplitude of the oscillation. It is simply dependent on the weight. It should be noted that to some extent period actually does depend on the angular amplitude and if it gets too large, the effect will become noticeable.
Does the amplitude affect the period of the pendulum?
The period of a pendulum is (sort of) independent of the amplitude. This is technically true for very small, "infinitesimal" swings. In this range, amplitude does not affect period. For larger swings, however, a circular error is introduced, but it is possible to compensate with various designs. See the Related Link below for further information.
Why the amplitude doesn't depend on frequency and time period?
Amplitude is how loud sound is and does not change a sounds pitch. They are independent.
What is the relationship between amplitude and period of oscillation in simple harmonic motion?
There is no relationship. They are independent. Either of those quantities can be changed without any effect on the other one. Except that when considering coupling, a greater amplitude or one component will have more effect in 'changing' the period of oscillation of the other to match the one with the high amplitude (via resonance).

What Is The Independent And Dependent Variables in Galileo Pendulum experiment?
Galileo's pendulum experiment showed that the period of the swing is independent of the amplitude (size) of the swing. So the independent variable is the size of the swing, and the dependent variable is the period. The experiment showed there was no dependence, for small swings anyway. The experiment led to the use of the pendulum in clocks.
What is the period and amplitude for y equals 7 cos 2x?
amplitude =7. to find the period, set 2x equal to 2∏. then x=∏=period
Is amplitude same as period?
No. If compared to ocean waves, amplitude would be wave height, and period would be how long to next wave.
What is the amplitude and period of f(t) -5 cos(8t)?
Amplitude = 5 Period = pi/4 radians (= 45 degrees).
Does a period of a pendulum depend on the amplitude?
For very little swings, no, the period is unrelated to the amplitude. For larger swings, however, the period increases slightly due to circular error.
An object that completes 100 vibrations in 5 seconds has a period of?
It completes 20 vibrations per second, the the period is 1/20 of a second.
Does a higher frequency mean fewer vibrations?
No, it means more vibrations in a given period of time.
What tool is useful in detecting and measuring the waves and energy of an earthquake?
The instrument types are known collectively as seismometers and seismographs. A seismometer detects the vibrations that travel through the ground, and a seismograph makes a visual record of the amplitude of waves over a period of time.
