Answer: 3m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Wavelength (λ)= 2m

Frequency F = 1.5Hz

Speed of wave = ?

The wavelength is the distance covered by the wave in one second. It is measured in metre per second, and represented by the symbol V

So, apply V = F λ

V = 1.5Hz x 2m

V = 3 m/s

Thus, the speed of the wave is 3m/s
