Capillary waves (ripples) in water Ripples on Lifjord in Øksnes Municipality, Norway Capillary waves produced by droplet impacts on the interface between water and air.. A capillary wave is a wave traveling along the phase boundary of a fluid, whose dynamics and phase velocity are dominated by the effects of surface tension.

For a water–air interface (with σ = 0.074 N/m and ρ = 1000 kg/m 3) the waves can be approximated as pure capillary waves – dominated by surface-tension effects – for wavelengths less than 0.4 cm (0.2 in).
The ripples which surface-feeding fish detect are known more technically as capillary waves. Capillary waves are generated by movement of an object at the surface of the water or from the brief contact of an object with the surface from either medium (air or water).
Capillary wave, commonly known as ripple, a wave traveling along the phase boundary of a fluid Ripple, more generally a disturbance, for example of spacetime in gravitational waves Ripple (electrical) , residual periodic variation in DC voltage during ac to dc conversion
Plastic straws cost under two cents per unit, according to Clean Water Action, a group working to elect environmental candidates. But biodegradable straws made by Good Start Packaging cost just ...
Faraday waves observed in water in a Petri dish, vibrated at a frequency of about 50 hertz. Faraday waves in a singing bowl. Faraday waves, also known as Faraday ripples, named after Michael Faraday (1791–1867), are nonlinear standing waves that appear on liquids enclosed by a vibrating receptacle. When the vibration frequency exceeds a ...
Comcast stock fell double digits on Thursday after the company reported a bigger-than-expected drop in broadband customers and failed to add more subscribers to its Peacock streaming service.
