Detailed explanation-1: -The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency while loudness of a sound depends on the amplitude of sound waves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Volume (amplitude ) – shown by the height of the waves displayed. The larger the amplitude of the waves, the louder the sound. Pitch (frequency) – shown by the spacing of the waves displayed. The closer together the waves are, the higher the pitch of the sound.
Detailed explanation-3: -Amplitude is loudness (or “volume".) High amplitude is loud, low amplitude is quiet. We measure loudness in decibels (db). Frequency is pitch. High frequency is a high-pitched sound, low frequency is, well, low.
Detailed explanation-4: -The relationship between the wave’s amplitude and frequency is such that it is inversely proportional to the frequency. The amplitude decreases as the frequency increases. The amplitude increases as the frequency decreases.
Detailed explanation-5: -[BL] For sound, a higher frequency corresponds to a higher pitch while a lower frequency corresponds to a lower pitch. Amplitude corresponds to the loudness of the sound.
