EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ''AMPLITUDE'' & ''PITCH'' & ''FREQUENCY''.

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student! Antariksh

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of an oscillating particle from its equilibrium position. If you draw a wave motion, the height of crest or depth of trough gives you the amplitude.

Frequency is the number of oscillations per second for a wave. Pitch is same as frequency, this term is used by musicians.

Cheers!!
