Answer:

16,200 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the wave given only it's frequency and wavelength can be found by using the formula


c = f * \lambda

where

c is the velocity of the wave in m/s


\lambda is the wavelength in m

f is the frequency in Hz

From the question

c = 2700 × 6 = 16,200

We have the final answer as

16,200 m/s

Hope this helps you
