Answer:

Frequency, f = 15 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Speed of an ocean wave is 45 m/s

Wavelength of a wave is 3 m

It is required to find the frequency of an ocean wave.

Speed of a wave,
$v=f\lambda$ , f = frequency of ocean wave

$f=(v)/(\lambda)\\\\f=(45)/(3)\\\\f=15\ Hz$

So, the frequency of an ocean wave is 15 Hz.
