When a stationary wave is formed,what is its frequency?

The equation of a stationary wave on a string clamped at both ends and vibrating in the third harmonic is $Y = 0.5 \sin(0.314 x) \cos(600 \pi t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $cm$ and $t$ is in seconds. The length of the vibrating string is: (in $cm$)

$A$ wave represented by the equation $y = A \cos (kx - \omega t)$ is superimposed with another wave to form a stationary wave such that the point $x = 0$ is a node. The equation of the other wave is:
