Swinging balls

This exhibit consists of 13 pendulums of different lengths, the weight of each of which is a metal ball.

Set the balls in motion simultaneously by flipping the lever. Observe the emerging patterns. Keep watching until the balls start swinging in a line again.

How often do the individual pendulums swing back and forth during this period? Can you make a law for the number of oscillations as a function of pendulum length?
