Some Terminologies :
Periodic Motion: a motion ‘repeats exactly’ at regular intervals of time
Period (T): ‘minimum time interval’ between repetitive motions; SI unit : second (s)

The uniform circular ‘rotatory’ motion of particle (P) about the ‘centre’ can be considered [
‘represented’ as] equivalent to TWO SHMs of two ‘imaginary particle(s)’ [ P1 & P2] with same ‘period’ (or
frequency)’ as of ‘P’. [ These ‘particles’ are the end-points of ‘projections’ of the ‘radius vector’ on two
mutually perpendicular diameters of the circle] (refer figure below.)
