The wavelength (λ) of a wave can be calculated using the formula:

λ = c / f

where λ is the wavelength, c is the speed of light, and f is the frequency of the wave.

The speed of light is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (m/s).

Plugging in the values, we have:

λ = 299,792,458 m/s / 6 × 10^(-5) Hz

Simplifying:

λ = 299,792,458 m/s / 0.00006 Hz

λ ≈ 4,996,540,966,666.67 meters

Therefore, the wavelength of the given wave with a frequency of 6×10^(-5) Hz is approximately 4,996,540,966,666.67 meters.
