To find the wavelength of a wave, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Wavelength} (\lambda) = \frac{\text{Speed} (v)}{\text{Frequency} (f)}
\]
In this case, the speed of the wave is \( v = 1500 \, \text{m/s} \) and the frequency is \( f = 5 \, \text{Hz} \).
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
\[
\lambda = \frac{1500 \, \text{m/s}}{5 \, \text{Hz}} = \frac{1500}{5} = 300 \, \text{m}
\]
Therefore, the wavelength is **300 m**.
\[
\text{Wavelength} (\lambda) = \frac{\text{Speed} (v)}{\text{Frequency} (f)}
\]
In this case, the speed of the wave is \( v = 1500 \, \text{m/s} \) and the frequency is \( f = 5 \, \text{Hz} \).
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
\[
\lambda = \frac{1500 \, \text{m/s}}{5 \, \text{Hz}} = \frac{1500}{5} = 300 \, \text{m}
\]
Therefore, the wavelength is **300 m**.
