Answer 1

To find the wavelength of a wave, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Wavelength} (\lambda) = \frac{\text{Speed of the wave} (v)}{\text{Frequency} (f)}
\]

Given:
- Speed of the wave \( v = 1,500 \, \text{m/s} \)
- Frequency \( f = 5 \, \text{Hz} \)

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[
\lambda = \frac{1,500 \, \text{m/s}}{5 \, \text{Hz}} = 300 \, \text{m}
\]

Therefore, the wavelength is **300 m**.
