Does changing the frequency change the amplitude?
In respect to what? But frequency is different than amplitude, so no.
How is frequency of a wave different from amplitude of the wave?
The frequency is the occurrence along the length of a wave, the amplitude the the height of the occurrence
How is frequency and amplitude related?
Frequency and amplitude are not related. Frequency and wavelength are related. The are the inverse of one another.
What occurs when waves and combine?
If waves are going opposite directions: If the two waves have the same amplitude and frequency, they will cancel each other out, resulting in a flatline. If one has a greater amplitude, it will "absorb" the smaller one and the result will be a wave with amplitude of the difference between the two original waves, going in the direction of the first wave with greater amplitude. If they're going the same direction: If the waves have the same frequency and phase, the will simply add on to each other, resulting in a larger wave. If the two have the same frequency but different phase, some parts of the waves will be offset to result in a wave with different amplitude but same frequency (depending how off-phase the waves are). If they have the same frequency and exactly opposite phases, the two will offset into a flatline. If they have different frequency, then it will result in a completely different wave with different frequency, phase, and amplitude.
Pitch is to frequency as loudness is to?
Loudness depends on the amplitude. square of amplitude is proportional to the loudness. Pitch is decided by the frequency. One can sing at higher pitch but at lower voice.

The frequency is the occurrence along the length of a wave, the amplitude the the height of the occurrence
How is pitch and amplitude different?
Loudness, pitch and timbre are approximately the correlates of signal amplitude, frequency and frequency spectrum, respectively.
Can two sounds have the frequency but different amplitude?
Yes.
How is pitch different from volume?
Pitch=Frequency Volume=Amplitude
How are frequency and amplitude related?
They're not. The same amplitude can have high or low frequency, and the same frequency can have large or small amplitude.
Why the amplitude doesn't depend on frequency and time period?
Amplitude is how loud sound is and does not change a sounds pitch. They are independent.
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 can you classify smell based on different physical parameters like frequency amplitude or wavelength?
Smell has nothing to do with frequency, amplitude, or wavelength. It is more about detecting the presence of certain types of molecules.
What are the two different parts of a longitudinal wave?
Frequency (or equivalently, wavelength) and amplitude. Frequency determines the sound's pitch (high or low). Amplitude is the volume (loud or quiet).
