Yes, it is possible for two sound waves with different amplitudes and wavelengths to have the same frequency. The frequency of a sound wave refers to the number of oscillations or cycles the wave completes per unit of time. It determines the pitch or perceived "highness" or "lowness" of the sound.

The amplitude of a sound wave represents the maximum displacement of particles in the medium from their equilibrium position as the wave passes through. It determines the intensity or loudness of the sound.

The wavelength of a sound wave is the distance between two consecutive points in the wave that are in phase (e.g., two adjacent peaks or two adjacent troughs).

While the amplitude and wavelength of two sound waves can differ, their frequency can be the same. For example, you can have two sound waves—one with a high amplitude and a long wavelength, and another with a low amplitude and a short wavelength—but if both waves complete the same number of cycles per second (i.e., they have the same frequency), they will produce the same pitch.

Therefore, it's important to note that amplitude, wavelength, and frequency are independent properties of a sound wave and can vary independently of each other.
