    3.0 m/s

    Explanation:

    Given;

    Frequency f = 2.0 Hz

    Wavelength λ = 1.5 m

    The speed of a wave can be expressed as a function of its wavelength and frequency.

    Wave speed = frequency * wavelength = fλ

    Substituting the values;

    Wave speed = 2.0Hz * 1.5m

    Wave speed = 3.0 m/s
