#lambda=6000# m
if talking about light

Explanation:

I'm assuming we are talking about light, so the equation that is used is #c=flambda#, which is speed of light (c) is the product of frequency (f) times wavelength (#lambda#). Remember that Hz#=sec^-1#. Let's rearrange the equation with respect to wavelength and solve for wavelength.

#lambda=c/f=(3.00*10^8 m/s)/(50000Hz)=(3.00*10^8m/s)/(50000sec^-1)=6000 # m

This is assuming you are referring to light.

If you are not talking about light, then the equation will be #lambda=v/50000#, where v is the generic term for velocity.
