Amplitude is the maximum displacement - I.e. the distance from the peak of the wave to its middle (generally zero)

Frequency is the number of oscillations (complete wavelengths) per second

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.


Does changing the frequency change the amplitude?

No, changing the frequency of a wave does not change its amplitude. Amplitude is a measure of the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position, while frequency is the number of oscillations per unit time. These two properties are independent of each other.


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.


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.


How do the frequencies of waves with different amplitudes compare?

There's no dependence or connection between a wave's amplitude and its frequency.


If amplitude decreases what happens to frequency?

If the amplitude decreases, the frequency remains unchanged. Amplitude refers to the magnitude of the signal, while frequency refers to the number of oscillations per unit of time. Changing the amplitude does not affect the frequency of the signal.


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 affect if any does frequency have on the amplitude of the waves?

Frequency has no effect on teh amplitude of a wave.


Do all sound waves carry the same amount of energy?

No, sound waves can carry different amounts of energy depending on factors such as amplitude and frequency. Higher amplitude and frequency sound waves typically have more energy than lower amplitude and frequency sound waves.


What effect does frequency have on the amplitude of a wave?

Frequency does not have a direct effect on the amplitude of a wave. The amplitude of a wave is determined by the energy of the wave, while frequency refers to the number of wave cycles in a given period of time. Changing the frequency of a wave will not alter its amplitude.
