Dear Aspirant,
periodic motion is a repeated motion, which repeated at equal intervals of time. For example, motion performed by a moving chair, a bouncing ball, a vibrating spring, etc. In each case the interval of time for a repetition, or cycle, of the motion is called a period, while the number of periods per unit time is called the frequency. Simple harmonic motion is a special case of periodic motion.
Frequency = 1/time period
Hope this helps. Thank you.
