What is Measuring Wavelength in a Ripple Tank about?

The document describes an experiment to measure the speed of water waves using a ripple tank. The equipment includes a ripple tank filled with water, a wooden bar to create ripples, and a light source to cast shadows of the ripples on a screen. A plastic duck was placed in the tank and moved up and down as waves passed, demonstrating that water waves are transverse. The teacher measured the maximum and minimum heights of the duck above the screen and calculated the mean amplitude of the waves from the measu
