Explanation:The relation between frequency, wavelength, and velocity is as follows.                    [tex]f = \frac{v}{\lambda}[/tex] where,     f = frequency                 v = velocity           [tex]\lambda[/tex] = wavelengthIt is given that frequency of the wave is 230 hertz (or 230 per second) and velocity of wave is 460 m/s. Therefore, calculate the wavelength as follows.                [tex]f = \frac{v}{}[/tex]or,            [tex]\lambda = \frac{v}{f}[/tex]                                     = [tex]\frac{460 m/s}{230s^{-1}}[/tex]                                     = 2 mTherefore, we can conclude that the wavelength of the wave is 2 m.

Suggested Answer

to find the wavelength of a wave you have to divide the speed by the frequency..it will equal 2 m...460/230=2V=F Ωwave speed=frequency*wavelength
