SUMMARY
The amplitude of a wave cannot be calculated solely from its frequency and wavelength, as these two parameters are independent of amplitude in practical scenarios. The frequency and wavelength are used to determine the speed of the wave, but additional information is required to ascertain amplitude. This conclusion is supported by the discussion among participants who emphasize the need for more data to solve the problem accurately.
