Amplitude is 2 and period is 4pi

Explanation:

The amplitude A is represented by the number in front of the sin function so:
A=2
The period is given as (2pi)/k where k is the number in front of x in the argument of sin:
so period=(2pi)/0.5=4pi~~12.5 that represents the interval needed to complete one oscillation.
Graphically:
graph{2*sin(0.5x) [-16.02, 16.02, -8.01, 8.01]}
