The frequency tells you the tone pitch, which is a measure of the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency. The period is the duration of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency. The colloquial word intensity (energy) tells you the loudness of a sound. In reality is meant the sound pressure level SPL of the sound which is no energy.
Stimulus Intensity is the strength of Apmlitude of the stimulus. For examply being punched in the arm lightly will cause the Sensation of just a little pain the stimulus (the sudden pressure) has a low intensity. But being punched harder will cause the sensation of more pain because the stimulus has a higher intensity. This increase in paion Perception is due to the fact that some of the sensory neurones are harder to activate than others so they will only send their implulses when a greater stimulus is presented. Stimulus Frequency on the other hand is the number of times per unit time that the stimulus is presented. To continue the original example if the arm was then puched only very slowly it would be said to have a low frequence but to puch faster would increase the frequency.
Sound and light are waves, so they have wavelength, frequency, etc.
Differences aren't many.
Light has higher frequency i.e., 1014 . Sound has 105
Lights frequency corresponds to its color.
But Light waves and sound waves are different in many ways..
Light waves are electromagnetic in nature while sound waves are not.
Light waves travel as energy as well as particle. But sound travels only as particles.
Light wave has two components (electrical and magnetic). Sound doesn't.
Light waves travel in straight lines. Sound waves doesn't..... and so on
frequency is the characteristics of a wave length, and pitch is the result that we hear depending if it has a high or low frequency.
Frequency is the with,
Intensity is the length,
Sound pressure is a power and is expressed in W/m2 (the ratio power/area unit); sound intensity level is expressed in decibels (a characteristic of the sound exposure).
The frequency tells you the tone pitch, which is a measure of the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency. The period is the duration of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency. The colloquial word intensity (energy) tells you the loudness of a sound. In reality is meant the sound pressure level SPL of the sound which is no energy.
Frequency is the number of cycles per second. Sound has frequency. The speed of sound is the distance traveled during a unit of time. 768 mph.
Examples: frequency, intensity, wavelength.
More important for what. If you use the analogy with sound, the frequency of light is the pitch of the sound (also the frequency of the sound waves), and the intensity is how loud it is. Both are equally important, but for different reasons. Sometimes you want a low frequency, sometimes you want a high frequency. Sometimes you want low intensity, others high intensity. Depends what you want it for.
Low frequency = low pitch = long waves

Difference is in their frequency, audible sound waves is between 12 Hz and 20,000 Hz, Ultrasound waves is any sound that has a frequency beyond the 20,000 Hz limit
Amplitude/Intensity
Frequency is the number of cycles per second. Sound has frequency. The speed of sound is the distance traveled during a unit of time. 768 mph.
Examples: frequency, intensity, wavelength.
Sound power or sound intensity I is a sound energy quantity.Sound pressure p is a sound field quantity.Sound intensity is sound pressure squared. I = p².See related link.

Sound is measured in dB ( Decibels) for intensity and or Hz ( Hertz) for frequency or pitch.
Pitch refers to how high or low a sound is perceived. The three aspects of pitch are frequency, intensity, and duration. Frequency is the number of vibrations per second, intensity is the loudness or softness of the sound, and duration is the length of time that the sound lasts.
Low frequency = low pitch = long waves
