Consider the standing wave on a guitar string and the sound wave generated by the string as a result of this vibration.What do these two waves have in common? (There may be more than one correct choice. )
A)They have the same wavelength.
B)They have the same speed.
C)They have the same frequency.
D)They have the same amplitude.
E)They have the same period.

Both the standing wave on the guitar string and the sound wave it generates share the same frequency because the frequency of the sound wave is determined by the vibration frequency of the string. They also have the same period, as period is the inverse of frequency, and if the frequency is the same, the period must also be the same. The wavelength, speed, and amplitude can differ between the two waves due to differences in the medium (string vs. air) and the nature of the waves (mechanical vs. sound).
