The correct answer is: $2.96 mm$
Given that, $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{w}}=1480 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, \mathrm{f}=1000 \mathrm{kHz}$
Speed, $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{w}}=\mathrm{f} \lambda$
$\therefore \quad \lambda=\frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{w}}}{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{1480}{1000 \times 10^3}=1.480 \mathrm{~mm}$
