A swimming duck paddles the water with its feet once per time interval of 2.0 s, producing surface waves with this period. The duck is moving at constant speed in a pond where the speed of surface waves is 0.33 m/s, and the crests of the waves ahead of the duck have a spacing of 0.17 m. What is the duck's speed and how far apart are the crests behind the duck?

Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).
