No. The amplitude of a sound is not related to its frequency (wavelength).
There might appear to be a connection if the listener's hearing is more or less sensitive to certain frequencies. For example, as a sound with constant amplitude rises in frequency toward the upper limit of the listener's hearing range, it will be perceived as if its amplitude (loudness) is dropping, although that sensation is in the ear of the beholder and not a property of the sound itself.

Describe something that can affect the pitch of sound?
The pitch of sound depends on the sound's frequency. Frequency is basically the amount of waves the sound is producing. If there are many waves, "happen frequently", it is a high frequency. This is a high pitch. If the distance between the waves is large, it is a low frequency and a low pitch.
What is the term for what measures sound waves?
An oscilloscope is the machine, but it measures frequency.... so sound waves are measured by frequency
What is the relation between the frequency wavelength and speed of a sound wave?
Speed = frequency x wavelengthThis is true for all waves, sound waves as well as electromagnetic waves.
What depend on the frequency on the sound waves?
Pitch
How do the properties of waves affect the speed frequency and period of waves?
Period = (1) divided by (frequency) = (wavelength) divided by (speed)Frequency = (1) divided by (period) = (speed) divided by (period)Speed = (wavelength) times (frequency) = (wavelength) divided by (period)Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency) = (speed) times (period)
What sound wave is the pitch related to?
In a way, yes, as the pitch of a sound wave is determined by it's frequency f, and a waves period T is the reciprocal of f. i.e. T=1/f

How are frequency and pitch related?
Well, the higher the frequency is the higher the pitch. They both travel with sound waves and they both have a big role in how sound travels.
Sound waves that are musical differ in from other sound waves?
frequency

An oscilloscope is the machine, but it measures frequency.... so sound waves are measured by frequency
In sound waves do compression waves move faster than rarefaction waves?
sorta, compressions move at a slightly higher frequency, which is indirectly related to speed.
Is frequency associated only with sound?
No, sound is a wave, all waves have a frequency. The frequency is how many waves pass by a certain point in 1 second. Sound is a longitudinal wave.
What is frequency applied to sound waves?
It sound of pitch
What is the relation between the frequency wavelength and speed of a sound wave?
Speed = frequency x wavelengthThis is true for all waves, sound waves as well as electromagnetic waves.
High frequency sound waves are know as?
Ultrasonic sound.
What is determined by sound waves frequency?
The sound that you hear.
Which waves have lower frequency radar waves or visible waves?
Radar waves have a lower frequency that light waves.The frequency of a light wave is related to wavelength and speed by the equation c = »½. The color of a light wave is also determined by the frequency. The amplitude and brightness are not related to the frequency.
