The term amplitude is applied to the "strength" of some kind of harmonic motion. It could be mechanical energy, like sound or earthquake waves, or it could be electromagnetic, like radio waves or light. It could even be digital pulses, which are on's and off's. In all cases, the amplitude is a measure of the "power" or the "energy" in that motion or wave.
As regards high amplitude and low amplitude, this is a designation as the the "amount" of energy in a wave. There is a "zero" or "reference" in all motions of this kind, and amplitude could be viewed as a deviation from the "norm" in any case where the motion, movement or propagation of the "energy" is observed. Though without specific magnitude, we use "high" to denote "a lot" of energy, and "low" to specify that there is "a little" energy.

A wave with high amplitude?
Has more energy than a wave with low amplitude.
What is the difference between a sound of low pitch and high pitch amplitude or frequency?
Low frequency = low pitch = long waves
What is the science term for high or low waves from the rest called?
Amplitude
What is the formulae for finding amplitude of sound?
Amplitude= velocity/frequency Sound velocity is known for many materials, e.g., air The frequency changes, according with: high voice - high frequency (low amplitude) and vice versa
What is relation between amplitude and pitch of sound?
There is no relationship. You can have a large or small amplitude combined with a high or low pitch.
A wave with high amplitude?
Has more energy than a wave with low amplitude.
REM sleep is characterized by what frequency and what amplitude brain waves?
High frequency and low amplitude.
What is the difference between a sound of low pitch and high pitch amplitude or frequency?
Low frequency = low pitch = long waves
What is the science term for high or low waves from the rest called?
Amplitude
Can a low frequency wave have high amplitude?
Of course and vice versa.
How are frequency and amplitude related?
They're not. The same amplitude can have high or low frequency, and the same frequency can have large or small amplitude.
The difference between a low amplitude sound wave and a high amplitude sound wave is what?
The difference is that a low wave have long and smooth wave and a high wave has skinny and cramped togetther waves
What is the formulae for finding amplitude of sound?
Amplitude= velocity/frequency Sound velocity is known for many materials, e.g., air The frequency changes, according with: high voice - high frequency (low amplitude) and vice versa
What are two ways that sound can be different?
Frequency (low or high sounds) and amplitude (loudness).
