  2. Capillary wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_wave

    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.

  3. Sun glitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_glitter

    Sun glitter is a bright, sparkling light formed when sunlight reflects from water waves. The waves may be caused by natural movement of the water, or by the movement of birds or animals in the water. Even a ripple from a thrown rock will create a momentary glitter. Light reflects from smooth surfaces by specular reflection.

  4. Deshret - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deshret

    Visually it is also a hieroglyph that takes up more 'space'-(versus a straight-line type for the horizontal water ripple); so it may have a dual purpose of a less compact text, and a better segue-transition to the next words. The Red Crown hieroglyph is used 35 times in the Rosetta Stone; only 4 times is it used as a non-preposition.

  5. Patterns in nature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterns_in_nature

    The crescent shaped dunes and the ripples on their surfaces repeat wherever there are suitable conditions. Patterns of the veiled chameleon, Chamaeleo calyptratus, provide camouflage and signal mood as well as breeding condition. Patterns in nature are visible regularities of form found in the natural world.

  6. Ripple marks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_marks

    Also known as impact ripples, these occur in the lower part of the lower flow regime sands with grain sizes between 0.3-2.5 mm and normal ripples form wavelengths of 7-14 cm. Normal ripples have straight or slightly sinuous crests approximately transverse to the direction of the wind.

  7. Giant current ripples - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_current_ripples

    Giant current ripples usually exhibit antidune breaking wave and dune ripple shapes, resulting from their high energy environments. Giant current ripples can reach a maximum height of 20 metres (66 ft) and reach a maximum length of 1 kilometre (0.62 mi). they occur in ripple fields that can cover an area several kilometers across.

  8. Japanese dry garden - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_dry_garden

    It creates a miniature stylized landscape through carefully composed arrangements of rocks, water features, moss, pruned trees and bushes, and uses gravel or sand that is raked to represent ripples in water. [1] Zen gardens are commonly found at temples or monasteries.

  9. Faraday wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_wave

    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 ...
