A man tries to determine the distance to an island offshore


A man tries to determine the distance to an island offshore by using his knowledge of physics and wave motion. He determined that it takes 56 sec for a wave to go from his position to the island. He estimates the distance between crests to be 5 m. He notices that is takes 2 sec for successive wave crests to pass him. Knowing this information, how far away is the island?
