what is the relation between wavelength frequency and amplitude

Frequency is the number of cycles per second.
Since the wave travels at some speed, the wavelength is how far the wave travels during one cycle.
Therefore, frequency and wavelength are inversely related:
wavelength = speed / frequency
Look at that equation and you see that if you double the frequency, you cut the wavelength in half. Likewise, if you reduce the frequency, you lengthen the wavelength proportionately.
Amplitude is separate. It is the size (or strength) of the wave. It doesn't change just because the frequency (or wavelength) changed.
