Nitwit

Follow-up to Poster Woes from The randomness of tomorrow, today!

I've also just noticed a huge, massive, really stupid mistake:

On the poster I have an equation that correctly says that the velocity is proportional to the depth of the water; as the water get shallower the wave slows down.
However, the text I wrote to acompany this diagram says the complete opposite; that the velocity is inversely proportional.
This happens just after a section of text giving the correct relation.

Bugger…
