The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the term that describes the number of oscillations completed by a simple pendulum in one second. Let's break down the steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Oscillation**: - An oscillation refers to the movement of the pendulum from one extreme position to the other and back to the starting position. This complete movement is counted as one oscillation. 2. **Defining Frequency**: - Frequency is defined as the number of complete oscillations that occur in a unit of time, specifically in one second. 3. **Identifying the Term**: - Since the question specifically asks for the number of oscillations completed by a simple pendulum in one second, we can conclude that this term is known as "frequency". 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the answer to the question is that the number of oscillations completed by a simple pendulum in one second is known as its **frequency**. ### Final Answer: The number of oscillations completed by a simple pendulum in one second is known as its **frequency**. ---

The time represented by the clock hands of a pendulum clock depends on the number of oscillations performed by pendulum. Every time it reaches to its exterme position the second hand of the clock advances by one second that means second hand moves by two second when one oscillation is completed.
