Solution

The correct option is A Same as that of the individual waves
A stationary wave is formed due to interference of two identical waves moving in opposite direction.
Hence, parameters like frequency, angular frequency, wavenumber are same for both constituent waves.
Therefore, after solving the resultant equation of superposition, frequency of standing wave comes equal to frequency of constituent waves.
