How does the speed of a wave source and the speed of waves themselves compare when a bow wave is being produced?
A bow wave is produced when the speed of the source exceeds the natural speed of surface waves in the medium (water). This effect is characterised by the disturbance spreading out in a 'V' formation behind the boat.
