To find the wavelength of a wave, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Wavelength} = \frac{\text{Speed}}{\text{Frequency}}
\]
In this case, the speed of the wave is 1,500 m/s and the frequency is 5 Hz. Plugging the values into the formula gives:
\[
\text{Wavelength} = \frac{1500 \, \text{m/s}}{5 \, \text{Hz}} = 300 \, \text{m}
\]
So, the wavelength of the wave is **300 meters**.
\[
\text{Wavelength} = \frac{\text{Speed}}{\text{Frequency}}
\]
In this case, the speed of the wave is 1,500 m/s and the frequency is 5 Hz. Plugging the values into the formula gives:
\[
\text{Wavelength} = \frac{1500 \, \text{m/s}}{5 \, \text{Hz}} = 300 \, \text{m}
\]
So, the wavelength of the wave is **300 meters**.
