one ripple will increase in size as it goes to shore

all it takes is one ripple in the wave

Is the speed of a water wave dependent on the wave source like a boat or a tsunami?

Yes the speed of a wave does depend on the source.


When the frequency of the source of a water wave increases the speed of the waves traveling in the water increases. Is this a true or false statement?

The statement, when the frequency of the source of a water wave increases the speed of the waves traveling in the water increases is true. It is stated that sound will travel through the water at 20 degrees Celsius faster than water at 80 degrees.


How does the wave transport water molecules from the source of the vibration?

It generally doesn't - only energy is propagated, not matter. Yea, they told me that, but I got wet. The water doesn't travel as much as the energy in a compressive wave. But an ocean water wave, especially near shore, looks a lot like a transverse wave.


Is the wave transport water molecules from the source of vibration?

Water does not travel along with the wave. As the wave moves over the water, each little piece of water moves up and down and forward and back, but after the wave has moved on the water is in the same place. That is a common feature of wave motion. The energy is passed along the wave but the medium itself does not move with the wave.


Does then wave transport water molecules from the source of vibration?

No, a sound wave does not physically transport water molecules from the source of vibration. Sound waves are variations in air pressure that travel through a medium, such as water, but they do not carry or transport the actual molecules of the medium.


What the source of the wave pulse?

The rope is the source of wave pulse.


What is source of the wave pulse?

The rope is the source of wave pulse.


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.


What type of wave travels in all directions?

A spherical wave travels in all directions, expanding outward from its source like ripples on the surface of water.


What materials will you need to create a wave?

To create a wave, you will need a medium such as water or air, a source of energy to disturb the medium (like wind or a vibrating object), and space for the wave to propagate.


What is a wave caused by?

A wave is caused by a disturbance or vibration in a medium, such as water or air. This disturbance creates a ripple effect that travels outward from its source, carrying energy but not matter.


What is the source of a sound wave and how does it propagate through a medium?

The source of a sound wave is vibrations produced by an object. These vibrations create changes in air pressure, which travel through the air as a wave. As the wave moves through a medium, such as air or water, the particles in the medium vibrate back and forth, transmitting the sound energy.
