Answer:

2.55 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

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


f = (c)/( \lambda) \\

where

c is the velocity of the wave in m/s


\lambda is the wavelength in m

From the question

c = 7.9 m/s


\lambda = 3.1 m

We have


f = (7.9)/(3.1) = 2.548387... \\

We have the final answer as

2.55 Hz

Hope this helps you
