An ultrasonic transducer is used to launch a progressive shear wave through a block of test polymer. The graph below shows how the displacement of the polymer particles varies with distance along the path of the wave at a specific instant in time.

Graph of displacement versus distance

The wave propagates with a speed of 480 m s-1.

Determine the frequency, in kHz\text{kHz}kHz, of the wave.
