Waves don't stop in the same sense that physical objects stop. Rather, the wave is attenuated (due to propagation and phenomena such as dispersion, scattering, and absorption). The movement of the wave is essentially never stopped though, it simply has a decreasing average displacement (eventually becoming immeasurable compared to background movement).
What else can I help you with?
What is a moving ridge of water called?
A moving ridge of water is called a wave. Waves are energy traveling through water, typically caused by wind blowing over the surface of the ocean.
What is the place where the glacier stopped moving and dropped the rocks and dirt it was carrying called?
The place where a glacier stops moving and deposits the rocks and dirt it was carrying is called a terminal moraine. These ridges of debris mark the furthest extent of the glacier's advance.
What is the height of a wave called it start with an a?
The height of a wave is called its amplitude. Amplitude is the distance from the midpoint of a wave to its crest or trough. It represents the maximum displacement of the wave from its resting position.
The highest part of a transverse wave are called?
crest
What do you call the lowest point of a wave?
The lowest point of a wave is called the trough. It is the point where the wave's amplitude is at its most negative value.
How do you wave without moving your hand or bell on Club Penguin?
hold w then is stops moving its hand hope it helps.
A wave moving in water that is deeper than half its wavelength is called what?
A deep-water wave.
If a wave moves a flopping dock up and down several times but then the dock stops moving what happend to the wave?
The wave likely dissipated or passed through the dock, causing it to lose energy and stop moving. Waves can transfer their energy to objects they encounter, eventually diminishing in strength.
When you are in a car the stops suddenly and when your body keeps moving what is that called?
That is called inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, which can cause your body to keep moving forward when the car stops suddenly.
Is the white top of a wave?
The crest.
What is a wave moving at a parallel angle?
A wave moving at a parallel angle is called a transverse wave. In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Examples include light waves, water waves, and seismic S-waves.
What is constructive and destructive?
Constructive interference can be a confusing concept when called interference. It is wave interference that is moving in phase with another wave. This causes the waves to for a resultant wave with a greater amplitude. Destructive interference is wave interference that is moving out of phase with another wave. These waves form a resultant wave of lower amplitude.
What stops car from moving forward or backward?
What stops a car from moving forward or backward
What is is the special force which stops things moving or which slows down moving things?
The special force that stops things from moving or slows them down is called friction. Friction is the resistance encountered when one object moves over another, creating heat and wearing down the surfaces in contact.
What is a wave moving at a right angle to its medium?
A wave moving at a right angle to its medium is called a transverse wave. In this type of wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples of transverse waves include light waves, electromagnetic waves, and waves on a string.
What is a wave moving in water deeper than half its wavelength called?
A wave moving in water deeper than half its wavelength is called a "deep water wave." This type of wave is not influenced by the sea floor or ground beneath it, so it behaves differently compared to shallow water waves.
What is the force that shows or stops moving objects when they move across each other is called what?
Friction
