What is the principle difference between amplitude and frequency in sound waves?a. amplitude is the tone or timbre of a sound, while frequency is the pitchb.amplitude is detected in the cochlea, while frequency is detected in the auditory cortexc.amplitude is the height of the sound wave while frequency is a measure of how frequently the sound waves pass a given pointd. both measure qualities of sound, but frequency is a more accurate measure since it measures the shapes of the waves rather then the strength of the wavese. amplitude has to do with the place theory, and frequency with the frequency theory44.
