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.
