You can "read" these information from the numbers in your equation:
#y=1*sin(2x)#
#1# is the amplitude meaning that your function is oscillating between #+1 and -1#;
#2# is used to evaluate the period as: #period=(2pi)/color(red)(2)=pi# so that one complete oscillation of your sine function is "squeezed" inside the interval #0# to #pi#.
