Are you sure.
Apologies for the confusion. I made an error in my response. We can determine the frequency of a wave using the equation:
frequency (f) = velocity (v) / wavelength (λ)
Using the information from the table, we can calculate the frequencies of the waves:
For wave L: f = 600 m/s / 120 m = 5 Hz
For wave M: f = 600 m/s / 150 m = 4 Hz
For wave N: f = 600 m/s / 100 m = 6 Hz
For wave O: f = 600 m/s / 50 m = 12 Hz
Therefore, the wave with the lowest frequency is wave M, with a frequency of 4 Hz.
