The answer for the first question is the last option from the scale - D. cast iron

The second one is a. 50 mm/s - Speed = Wavelength • Frequency (using the formula v = f • λ where v is velocity, f is frequency)

And what about the last one, is b. Reflection is the only process that involves a change in the wave.
