    I think some of the given is wrong, 10 ms-1, think it is only 10 s-1 which represents the frequency of the wave, and can be use to solve for the wavelength of the sound wave given

    wavelength = wave speed / frequency

    wavelength = 1500 m/s / 10 s-1

    wavelength = 150 m (100 cm / 1 m) = 15000 cm
