What is the difference between amplitude and frequency? Give an example for each.

What will be an ideal response?


Examples will vary. The amplitude of a sound is the difference between its maximum and minimum sound pressures. The stronger the pressure is, the louder the sound will be. For example, a brick falling on a hard floor will create a strong change in air pressure and thus produce a loud sound. Frequency is the number of cycles a sound produces in a second. The stronger the frequency is, the higher the pitch will be. A referee's whistle produces a strong frequency and thus has a high pitch.
