When a person sitting on a swing stands up on the swing, the frequency of oscillation

Decreases
Increases
Becomes infinite
Does not change
Increases  In Simple Harmonic Motion, the frequency of the oscillation (f) is the number of oscillations per second_x000D_ which is expressed as_x000D_ f = 1 / T_x000D_ where T is the time period (the time for the oscillator to complete one cycle). Now, when a person sitting on a swing stands up on the swing, the effective length of the swing decreases. When length decreases, the time period also decreases. Since frequency of oscillation is inversely proportion to time period, it increases in the present case of man standing up on the swing.
