Amplitude is not relevant for this. Use the following formula: c = lambda times f; or speed (of the wave) = wavelength times frequency. If you know any two of these, you can solve for the third. The way the question is phrased, you don't have enough information - you only know the frequency. However, if you know that it is a light (or other EM) wave in a vacuum, you can use a speed of 300,000,000 m/s; if you know that it is sound in air, 331 m/s is a reasonable assumption.

What is amplitude frequency and wavelength of a wave?

The frequency and wavelength are the same thing. Not effected by the amplitude in the least.


How do you calculate the amplitude given the frequency and the wavelength?

Amplitude doesn't depend on frequency or wavelength, so even if you know them, you have no way to calculate amplitude.


How are amplitude wave length and frequency connected?

The frequency and wavelength are the same thing. Not effected by the amplitude in the least. (Velocity= frequency x wavelength).


How is frequency and amplitude related?

Frequency and amplitude are not related. Frequency and wavelength are related. The are the inverse of one another.


How are amplitude wavelength and frequency related?

The wavelength and frequency of any wave are inversely proportional. Neither of them is related to the wave's amplitude in any way.


How does amplitude frequency and wavelength affect each other?

-- Frequency and wavelength of a wave are inversely proportional. So knowing one of them determines what the other one must be. -- Amplitude has no relationship to frequency or wavelength, and no effect on them.


What are some characteristics of wave?

wavelength, frequency, and amplitude


Is the wave of speed dependent on the amplitude?

No. Wave speed depends on frequency and wavelength, not amplitude.


What three quantities are used to describe a wave?

Amplitude, speed, and wavelength or frequency. (Wavelength and frequency are related by the wave's speed.)
