Answer: 1,500m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Relationship existing between velocity of a wave (v), wavelength(¶) and frequency(f) is

v = f¶... (1)

Since Frequency (f) is the reciprocal of the period (T);

Frequency = 1/Period i.e F = 1/T... (2)

Substituting equation 2 into 1 we have;

v = 1/T × ¶

v = ¶/T

Given wavelength ¶ = 9m

Period T = 0.006s

v = 9/0.006

v = 1,500m/s

The velocity of the wave will be 1,500m/s
