Want this question answered?
The time taken by one complete oscillation to cross a fixed point is called the period of a wave.
time taken by pendulum/to complete 1 oscillation
NO,oscillation is not necessarily a wave because energy is not transported in oscillation.In oscillation there is no space periodicity.An oscillation is periodic in time only where as a wave is periodic in time and space both.
Damped (or free) oscillation occurs when an object is set to vibrate at its natural frequency while forced oscillation involves the application of a force to keep an object in constant or repetitive motion.

time period
The time taken by one complete oscillation to cross a fixed point is called the period of a wave.
We could reduce random errors by taking the average of the time taken for one oscillation.

The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
It is the amount of time taken by a wave to go from one crest to the next crest, or one trough to the next.

Damped (or free) oscillation occurs when an object is set to vibrate at its natural frequency while forced oscillation involves the application of a force to keep an object in constant or repetitive motion.

Mass oscillation time period = 2 pi sq rt. (m/k) Pendulum oscillation time period = 2 pi sq rt. (l/g)
The time period of a pendulum will increase when taken to the top of a mountain. This is because the acceleration due to gravity decreases at higher altitudes, resulting in a longer time for the pendulum to complete each oscillation.
