Amplitude
The extent of a vibratory movement, measured from the mean position to an extreme, commonly used in physics to describe waves.
Pitch
The quality of sound governed by the rate of vibrations producing it; the highness or lowness of a tone.
Frequency
In the context of waves, it is the number of waves that pass a fixed point per second; in general use, it refers to how often something occurs.
