Here's the breakdown:
* Amplitude: The maximum displacement of a point on a vibrating body or wave from its equilibrium position. Think of it as the "height" of a wave.
* Frequency: The number of cycles or oscillations that occur in a given time. It's how often a wave repeats itself.
Think of a swinging pendulum:
* Amplitude: The maximum distance the pendulum swings away from its resting position.
* Frequency: How many times the pendulum swings back and forth in a given time (e.g., 10 swings per minute).
In summary: Amplitude measures the "size" of a wave, while frequency measures how "fast" it repeats.
