The amplitude is the maximum displacement. The frequency is the number of peaks (or troughs) that occur in unit time (usually a second).
They are independent quantities. Amplitude decides the intensity ie energy content of the wave and frequency is different right from amplitude. If the maximum amplitude,E, is known then the instantaneous amplitude, e, can be found by e=E*sin(2*pi*f*t) where f is the frequency and t is the time in seconds from the start of the sine wave. Note that the angle in brackets is in radians. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi there is no such a term "maximum amplitude". Amplitude itself is the maximum displacement. For a fixed frequency and fixed amplitude, as time passes then the displacement e varies as fractiion of max E. That is all. E is constant and f is another constant. They are not directly related in any way.
A sound wave can be represented by changes in the average position of atoms, OR in changes in pressure, over time. The amplitude represents the maximum change in one of these.
That point is called a 'node'. The point(s) of maximum amplitude, on the other hand, are called quite logically 'antinodes'. The wave is called a "standing" wave, not because it stands still; it does move vertically, but not horizontally. As a sidelight, a book from the golden age of science fiction (when such fiction was still related to science) by J.G. Ballard called Chronopolis postulated a space-time continuum structured as a standing wave surface, whereupon stable time is possible at the nodes.
The amplitudes simply superimpose so it becomes A + B.
360 degrees
If you have two waves, or two things in oscillation or two things in vibration; if the peaks (maximum amplitude) and valleys (maximum amplitude the other way) occur at the same time then they are in phase. If one wave peaks at the same time the other one is in a valley they are said to be 180 degrees out of phase.

AC if the signal is of the same amplitude but out of phase yes the net product Vs time will be zero.

The graph of y = A sin (Bx + C) is obtained by horizontally shifting the graph of y = A sin Bx, where 1) Amplitude = |A|, the maximum of y is A, if A > 0 and -(-A) if A < 0 The minimum of y is -A if A > 0 and A if A < 0 2) Period = (2pi)/B 3)Phase shift = C/B So that the starting point of the cycle is shifted from x = 0 to x = C/B. If C/B > 0 the shift is to the right. If C/B < 0 the shift is to the left.
R resistor C capacitance will shift phase since the capacitor will take time to charge.
The basic properties of transverse waves are: Amplitude Time Period Frequency Phase Wavelength Crest Trough
In any transistor circuit , there is a phase shift. It takes a finite time for the controlling signal, usually on the base connection, to have an effect on the circuit and cause a change to the output. The shape of the signal remains but it is shifted in time (phase). The difference varies by configuration. It can be as much as180 degrees if the circuit is inverting the signal. The addition of passive components add to the shift.
A Phase discriminator allows the user to shift in time or 'phase' into another dimension. It shifts the user into another dimensional phase which can be a fraction of a second off from our own, which renders the user invisible to those in the normal unshifted time frame.
amplitude modulation is used
