Answer:A

Step-by-step explanation:

From the wave formulae, wave speed= wavelength * frequency we can obtain the frequency by making it the subject of the formula

Frequency= wave speed/ wavelength

The details are found in the image attached. The frequency refers to the number of cycles covered by a wave per unit time
