Like light waves, acoustic (sound) waves are characterized by a frequency, wavelength and propagation speed.

声波就和光波一样，是以频率、波长和传播速度为其特征。

And Einstein credited de Broglie, which is a fair statement of lifting a corner of the great veil, because really there was this fundamental misunderstanding about what the difference was between matter and light, and the reality is that they can both be like-particles and they can both show characteristics of waves.

并且爱因斯坦相信德布罗意，他做了一个公正的论述,揭开了一个伟大面纱的一角，因为关于物质和光,以前确实存在着,根本性的误解，真实情况是它们同时,具有粒子和波的特性。
