Amplitude is the positive or negative peak value of a wave while frequency is the number of oscillations complete in 1 second.

amplitude is the maximum +ve or -ve dispacement of a wave while frequency is the no of oscillations made y the wave in 1 sec. amplitude governs the loudness while frequency governs the pitch or shrillness of a sound .

Amplitude is the positive and negative peak of the signal while frequency is the no of repetition of the signal in a unit time. We increase the amplitude of our voice signal by shouting loudly while we increase the frequency of our voice signal by speaking faster.

Let me describe the concept in literary way, so that you can remember. you must heard the two words "amplification or amplifier" and "frequent" in general talks,right. generally Amplification is used in terms of gaining something , in terms of sound it is used for gaining loudness. similarly frequency...

Let me describe the concept in literary way, so that you can remember. you must heard the two words "amplification or amplifier" and "frequent" in general talks,right. generally Amplification is used in terms of gaining something , in terms of sound it is used for gaining loudness. similarly frequency comes from word frequent..............frequency means how frequent some thing is happening. but when you are asked how frequent for any thing, your answer will be associated with some time as well. for example : how frequent do you go to sunil? you answer:may be once in a week, that's it. so here your frequency is once per week or 1/week. generally when frequency is asked with respect to ossilating body or waves, the expected answer is how many times a second, as sec is the SI unit of time. so standard definition of frequency is number many oscilation per second. and Amplitude is the max displacement from the mean or stable position of the oscilating body. want to explain little more.........but had to stop for the time being for some urgent work. read less

The difference between frequency and amplitude is that: frequency is a measurement of cycles per second, and amplitude is a measurement of how large a wave is. Amplitude represents the wave's energy.

Seen a pendulum? Where is its bottom when it is at rest? At the center, right? Now give it a little push and let it keep swinging to and fro, and observe it. See how far "the bottom" is going before returning? That "how far" is the Amplitude. Now, take a stopwatch or normal watch, and count the "number...

Seen a pendulum? Where is its bottom when it is at rest? At the center, right? Now give it a little push and let it keep swinging to and fro, and observe it. See how far "the bottom" is going before returning? That "how far" is the Amplitude. Now, take a stopwatch or normal watch, and count the "number of swings" the pendulumis making in one minute. Let's say the count is coming to be 100. Divide100 by 60 (because 1 minute = 60 seconds). The quotient you'll get is frequency. So, you see the difference? read less

Why is only the speed of light constant in all frames of reference?
The only thing that affects the speed of light is the refractive index of the medium through which it moves, and for space, this number is 1.000000 and gives you the maximum possible speed of light.
