Ripples are waves. When waves encounter something the result can include reflection, refraction or diffraction.
A rock is a very different medium from a ripple and so there is no transmission of the water wave into the rock, so no refraction.
Waves will be reflected are at the rock surface and 'bounce' back. The reflected ripples will exhibit interference with the oncoming ripples.
The last thing that happens is diffraction. In the process of bouncing off the rock, wave will also go around the rock. If the rock is not too big, the ripples will actually reform after the rock. (This is particularly obvious if the size of the rock is only a few times greater than the wavelength of the ripples.) One will observe both the reflected waves (which are also called scattered waves in this context) and the original wave.
Of course, the ripple has to last long enough to clearly see this to happen, so the number of wavelengths in the ripple should add up to be a good deal larger than the rock size. Otherwise, if the rock is really large, the reflection is about all that will be observed.
The ripples may reflect, and they might diffract around the edges.
The mineral becomes wet
It would splash BIG.

Ripples.
Puppies, caterpillars, moths, spring breezes, feathers, ripples in water from a dropped stone.
If a rock has ripples pointing downward, it suggests that the rock was formed in a depositional environment where sediments settled or were deposited horizontally or at a slight angle downward. This can occur in environments like riverbeds, deltas, or beaches where sediments are being deposited and compacted over time.
The mahogany gets wet, soaked a little, the water gets displaced, trace amounts of mahogany get released into the water. Other than that, not much happens.
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.
Ripples are formed by a friction of moving air and water.
Ripples on the surface of a pond are an example of wave motion.
As it slides over the water surface film, air makes it move. As the water moves, it forms eddies and small ripples. Then waves are formed from these ripples
It is very possible that the water ripples when a duck farts, because the water ripples when a human farts. The air coming out of the duck would make a ripple in the water.
Sound and Water-Ripples.
Moving air can form waves on the surface of water through a process called wind-driven waves. When wind blows over the surface of a body of water, it transfers some of its energy to the water molecules at the surface, causing them to move. As the wind continues to blow, it creates a continuous transfer of energy to the water, resulting in the formation of waves. The size and characteristics of these waves depend on various factors such as the speed and direction of the wind, the duration of the wind's action, and the distance over which it blows (referred to as the fetch). The energy from the wind causes the water molecules to move in a circular motion, with water particles moving in the direction of the wave's propagation. As this motion continues, it creates a wave pattern that propagates across the water surface. Ultimately, wind-driven waves are a result of the transfer of kinetic energy from the moving air to the water, causing the water's surface to undulate and form waves.
