They formed ridges across the open bottom – a pattern Trembanis describes as ripples and they left smooth, eroded patches. The physics of the ocean wave at the surface has its power in the wave length ...

Boats and ships will rock violently, eventually tumbling down into the belly of the ocean. Called “square waves,” they appear as if dividing the surface water in a bizarre pattern of squares.

A ripple tank is a transparent shallow tray of water with a light shining down through it onto a white card below. The light allows you to see the motion of the ripples created on the water's ...

A ripple tank can be used to measure and calculate frequency, wavelength and the speed of waves on the surface of the water it contains. It is a transparent shallow tray of water, with a light ...
