Answer 1

To calculate the wavelength of a wave, you can use the wave equation:

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

Given:

• Speed \( v = 1500 , \text{m/s} \)
• Frequency \( f = 5 , \text{Hz} \)

Now, substituting the values into the equation:

\[ \lambda = \frac{1500 , \text{m/s}}{5 , \text{Hz}} = 300 , \text{m} \]

Therefore, the wavelength is 300 meters.

So the correct answer is: 300 m
