165000 s⁻¹ or 165000 Hertz (Hz)

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequency can be found by dividing velocity in m/s by the wave length in m.

Frequency = v/λ

v is the velocity of the wave in meters per second = 330 m/s

λ is the wavelength of the wave in meters = 0.002 m

Frequency = 330 m/s / 0.002 m = 165000 s⁻¹ or Hz
