Hi,
does anyone know how to calculate the amplitude of a wave knowing the frequency and wavelength
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You cannot calculate the amplitude from the frequency or the wavelength. They are independent of the amplitude in almost all practical cases.
 
No, you need more information than that. The frequency and wavelength only tell you the speed of the wave. Can you restate the problem with any more information?
