For simple waves, changing the amplitude does not change any other basic wave characteristic, e.g. frequency, wavelength.
Amplitude is usually associated with the quantification of how much stuff is waving or how strongly it is waving, e.g. water waves and sound waves. It nearly always then is a measure of the energy of a wave which is usually proportional to the square of the amplitude. For sound and similar waves we say a change of amplitude changes the intensity of the wave.
More complex Cases:
The basic characteristics of a simple harmonic wave are the amplitude, frequency and wavelength., There are further longitudinal and transverse waves, so the direction of associated with the movement of whatever is oscillating is another characteristic.
The amplitude of a wave is the measure of the maximum magnitude of whatever is oscillation. For simple harmonic waves, there is a sinusoidally varying quantity which is the amplitude. When the amplitude changes, it is just that magnitude changing or such simple waves. As stated above, this is usually associated with a change of energy or intensity.
For some waves, particularly those which are not simple harmonic waves, change in amplitude can cause other effects. These are called nonlinear effects.
A few examples are known from daily life. A ripple on the surface of water does not have the same properties as a giant ocean wave. In the case of water, amplitude does alter wavelength and frequency. The character of a wave changes. The electrical waves traveling through the electrical circuit of an amplifier for a loudspeaker system have properties that are not simply proportional to amplitude of the signal can can produce those loud screeching noises and distortions. People who wear glasses which darken in bright sunlight are experiencing a nonlinear effect. Even the oscillation of a pendulum is nonlinear with the period of the pendulum changing as the amplitude increases.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the speed of a wave if the amplitude is doubled and the frequency holds constant?
If the amplitude of a wave is doubled while the frequency remains constant, the speed of the wave will not change. The speed of a wave is determined by the medium through which it is traveling, not by its amplitude or frequency.
What happens to the amplitude when speed increase?
When the speed increases, the amplitude of a wave does not change. The amplitude of a wave is determined by the energy of the source that produced it, and this does not depend on the speed of the wave. However, changes in speed can affect other properties of the wave such as wavelength and frequency.
What happens when you change the amplitude on a light wave?
Changing the amplitude of a light wave affects its brightness. A higher amplitude increases the intensity and makes the light appear brighter, while a lower amplitude decreases the intensity and makes the light appear dimmer. However, changing the amplitude does not affect the color or wavelength of the light wave.
How do you change the amplitude of the triangle?
To change the amplitude of a triangle wave, you can multiply the output signal by a constant value. Increasing this value will increase the amplitude, and decreasing it will decrease the amplitude. Alternatively, you can adjust the voltage levels or inputs to the waveform generator to change the amplitude.
A change in loudness results from a changing of the of the sound waves.?
Yes, the loudness of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves. A higher amplitude corresponds to a louder sound, while a lower amplitude corresponds to a quieter sound.
When frequency and voltage of an RC coupled amplifier are kept constant then what happens to the amplitude of output?
There is insufficient information in the question to answer it. Something has to change if you are asking what happens to amplitude, but you did not provide that "something". Please restate the question.

What happens to the volume of sound as the amplitude get larger?
The greater the amplitude of a sound wave the louder the sound.
Do rate and amplitude always change together in a frog heart?
Does the amplitude of the heart and heart rate always change together
A change in loudness results from a changing of the of the sound waves.?
Yes, the loudness of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound waves. A higher amplitude corresponds to a louder sound, while a lower amplitude corresponds to a quieter sound.
How is the amplitude of a longitudinal waved measured?
Amplitude of a longitudinal wave is measured as a change in pressure.
How does Amplitude change with Wavelength?
Amplitude does not change with wavelength. Amplitude refers to the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position, regardless of the wavelength of the wave. The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive points of the same phase, and it does not affect the amplitude of the wave.
Does amplitude change when the pitch get higher?
No, the amplitude of a sound wave does not change as the pitch gets higher. The amplitude of a sound wave determines the loudness of the sound, while the pitch is determined by the frequency of the wave.
Does amplitude change in polarization?
The amplitude of an electromagnetic wave does not change with polarization. Polarization refers to the orientation of the electric field component of the wave, while amplitude refers to the strength or magnitude of the wave. Changing the polarization of a wave does not alter its amplitude.
