What is the difference between amplitude and frequency?

Amplitude sets the loudness/energy of a wave; frequency sets its pitch/colour.

Amplitude sets the loudness/energy of a wave; frequency sets its pitch/colour. A reliable way to keep them apart is to focus on what each one is defined by, not just the similar-sounding words.
