Actually energy is very much apart of sound.

Wavelength is the inverse of the pitch, which is the frequency.

Now to determine energy we must use planck's constant, h.

In light waves E=h * frequency or h * c(speed of light) / WL

For sound you can just use E = h * frequency since the speed of sound is non-relativistic, and the speed of light cancels.

Hope that helps.

pitch is related with frequency. the higher the frequency of a wave the higher the pitch.wavelength is inversely proportional with frequency. So, the higher the pitch, the shorter the wavelength.The higher the energy, the wavelength will be longer.

Wavelength and pitch are inversly related. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the pitch.

Energy isn't related to either one of the. It is directly related to loudness. The more energy, the louder it sounds.

Amplitude of the sound is basically the quantity or the quantity of sound produced or in undemanding words loudness. Its measured in bel oftentimes, decibel .Bel is the call of a scientist the position the unit is termed after. This unit has no longer some thing t do with pitch, frequency, or whatso ever
