    The number of oscillations completed by the wave in one second is 1.88 number of oscillations

    Explanation:

    Frequency of a wave is defined as the number of oscillations completed by a progressive wave in one second. It is expressed as the ratio of the velocity of the wave to its wavelength.

    Mathematically, frequency = velocity/wavelength

    Given velocity of the wave = 9.2m/s

    wavelength = 4.9m

    Frequency = 9.2/4.9

    Frequency = 1.88Hertz

    The value of frequency of the wave gotten means that the wave completed 1.88 oscillations in one second.
