To find the wavelength of a wave, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Wavelength} (\lambda) = \frac{\text{Velocity} (v)}{\text{Frequency} (f)}
\]
Given that the velocity (\(v\)) is 1,500 m/s and the frequency (\(f\)) is 5 Hz, you can substitute these values into the formula:
\[
\lambda = \frac{1500 \, \text{m/s}}{5 \, \text{Hz}} = 300 \, \text{m}
\]
So, the wavelength is **300 m**.
