Both can exhibit all the characteristics of wave motion, such as reflection,
refraction, diffraction, absorption, dispersion, and interference, and the
behavior of both can be described by the same math of wave motion.

What is faster ripples on the water or light?
i.e. mechanical waves travelling through water? Light of course. Otherwise how would you see the ripples? Light travels at 299,792.458 km/s.
Was the earthquake first or tsunami first in Japan 2011?
The earthquake was first and caused the tsunami, like when you throw a stone into a pond first and then the ripples go out.
Tsunami waves are almost the same as ripples caused by throwing a rock into a pond. What is the major difference between the two?
The energy source of tsunami waves is much greater The energy source of Tsunami waves is much greater
Why can you see your shadows in a muddy pond or in a clear puddle but nor in a deep clear pond?
A shadow is the region of darkness were the light is blocked. Your shadow is the difference between say the sunlight that bounces from a sidewalk to your eye and the dark area where your body blocked the sunlight. When you see your shadow in a muddy pond, you actually see the light that reflects off of the mud particles suspended in the water. When you see your shadow in a clear pond, you see the light reflected off of the bottom of a shallow pond through the clear water. In a deep pond the light does not penetrate all the way to the bottom (therefore no reflection) or does not penetrate in sufficient quantities for your eyes to perceive the reflection.

What is the medium for ripples on a pond and the sound waves from a stereo speaker and seismic waves?
Ripples on a pond are waves moving through (across) water. Sound waves from an audio system move through air (though they can move through other things that they come into contact with). Seismic waves move through the ground, and that means anything on or under it, including rock, magma, water, or just about anything else. (It should be noted that we often consider seismic waves as moving through the ground without differentiating it much, unless we're in a more "involved" or "advanced" study.)
Which wave is most similar to visible light?
Water ripples(or water waves) in a lake, pond, or sea.
Ripples on a surface of a pond?
Ripples on the surface of a pond are an example of wave motion.
Describe what happens when ripples on a pond encounter a large rock in the water?
Ripples on a pond who encounter a large rock in the water will reflect off the rock. The medium for a ripple in a pond is the water.
What is a example of a metaphor for a earthquake?
"Like ripples in a pond"
What wave is ripples on a pond?
A Transverse wave of particles.
What are ripples on the surface of a pond called?
someone tell me pls
When a stone is thown in the calm water of a pond the waves produced on the surface of water in the pond are?
Ripples i believe you are looking for
what does like ripples from a stone thrown into a pond mean?
Example like you are having a cold, and your nose is dripping like a ripples from a stone thrown into a pond. It's like, dropping.
Which of the following is not an example of energy transmission by waves A. Sound B. Ripples on a pond C. An apple falling from a tree D. Light?
i would say an apple falling from a tree..... but i could be wrong.
