Velocity of wave = frequency * wavelength (the universal wave equation does not involve amplitude) There is no direct relationship between the amplitude and the wavelength of a wave and therefore if the amplitude increases the wavelength will not necessarily change.

Amplitude, frequency, and phase angle are all independent characteristics of a wave. Baring some other restrictions not defined in your question (such as maximum total energy, etc), amplitude does not affect frequency.

Generally, amplitude and frequency are separate characteristics of a wave.
There's no connection between the amplitude and the frequency.
You can independently specify either one without changing the other.


Caveat: There are some characteristics of nonlinear waves for which there is a connection, but that is outside of the basic question here.

No, that is impossible. Amplitude has to do with the magnitude of the wave and wavelength has to to with time and period and frequency in a medium

No, wavelength is determined by the wavespeed and frequency of the wave, not the amplitude. Increasing the amplitude simply means that there is more energy in the wave.

Not at all. There's no direct relationship or connection between frequency and amplitude.

Explain how amplitude and pitch affect changes in waves?

In case of mechanical waves, ie waves propagating through material medium the amplitude of the waves decides the intensity of the waves as intensity is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude. Pitch is related to the frequency of the wave. As pitch increases then in one second more number of waves would cross a particular point in the medium. If velocity of the wave in the medium remains constant, the wavelength gets reduced as the pitch increases.

How wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the Waves increases?

The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.

The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.

If the frequency of the waves produced by a vibrating object increases how does the wavelength of the waves produced change?

The wavelength decreases. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.
