Frequency vs. Period in Simple Harmonic Motion

The video tutorial covers the concepts of period and frequency in simple harmonic motion. It begins with a greeting and introduction, followed by a detailed explanation of the period, its symbol, and its Latin origin. The inverse relationship between frequency and period is discussed, including the definition of Hertz. Examples using a mass spring system and a pendulum illustrate how to calculate frequency and period. The session concludes with a reminder of the equivalence of cycles per second and Hertz.
