Frequency and amplitude are both basic components of a sound wave. Frequency refers to the number of cycles per second, or how fast the wave is vibrating. Amplitude refers to the height of the wave, or how loud the sound is. Sample rate is not a basic component of a sound wave, but rather a parameter used in digital audio to determine the number of samples taken per second.
