Question

A particle is oscillating in simple harmonic motion. The time required for the particle to travel through one complete cycle is equal to the period of the motion, no matter what the amplitude is. But how can this be, since larger amplitudes mean that the particle travels farther?

Maximum speed during oscillation is proportional to amplitude. That keeps the period independent of amplitude
