Description
We describe a 8085 microprocessor interface developed to make reliable time-period measurements. The time period of each oscillation of a simple pendulum was measured using this interface. The variation of the time period with increasing oscillation was studied for the simple harmonic motion (SHM) and for large angle initial displacements (non-SHM). The results underline the importance of the precautions which the students are asked to take while performing the pendulum experiment
