  2. 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 ...

  3. Ripple tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_tank

    In physics, a ripple tank is a shallow glass tank of water used to demonstrate the basic properties of waves. It is a specialized form of a wave tank. The ripple tank is usually illuminated from above, so that the light shines through the water. Some small ripple tanks fit onto the top of an overhead projector, i.e

  4. 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.

  5. Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

    Surface waves in water showing water ripples. In physics, mathematics, engineering, and related fields, a wave is a propagating dynamic disturbance (change from equilibrium) of one or more quantities. Periodic waves oscillate repeatedly about an equilibrium (resting) value at some frequency.

  6. Ripple (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(electrical)

    Ripple (specifically ripple voltage) in electronics is the residual periodic variation of the DC voltage within a power supply which has been derived from an alternating current (AC) source. This ripple is due to incomplete suppression of the alternating waveform after rectification. Ripple voltage originates as the output of a rectifier or ...

  7. Kelvin wake pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_wake_pattern

    All shock waves, that each by itself would have had an angle between 33° and 72°, are compressed into a narrow band of wake with angles between 15° and 19°, with the strongest constructive interference at the outer edge (angle arcsin(1/3) = 19.47°), placing the two arms of the V in the celebrated Kelvin wake pattern.

  9. Mechanical wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_wave

    Ripple in water is a surface wave. In physics, a mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a material medium. [1] (Vacuum is, from classical perspective, a non-material medium, where electromagnetic waves propagate.)
