I used sqrt(2)

I started out using a different approach, for the initial array I've been
reading a graphic file (pgm) so I've painted a splash using a brush with a
hardness of 32 (Paint Shop Pro), same effect I think.
One thing I noticed was that there was a diamond shaped leading edge to the
wave. This disappeared when I made both initial arrays the same. I hope that is
clear.
