Answer 1

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

\[
\text{Wavelength} (\lambda) = \frac{\text{Velocity} (v)}{\text{Frequency} (f)}
\]

Given:
- Velocity (v) = 1,500 m/s
- Frequency (f) = 5 Hz

Now plug in the values:

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

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