It is the type of feeling that is expressed. A person can be apprehensive before taking a test, but they are not frightened to do it. Walking down a dark street a night would make someone frightened because they know there is danger or could be danger.

"Frightened" typically refers to feeling afraid or scared in response to a specific threat or danger, whereas "apprehensive" is more about feeling anxious or uncertain about something that may happen in the future. Frightened is more immediate and intense, while apprehensive is a more generalized feeling of unease or worry.
