A ripple tank creates waves by vibrating a surface with a motor underneath the tank. This makes the surface of the water move up and down, creating the waves that are more visible due to the light shining from above, which reflects off the waves and reveals their patterns and behaviors.

What is a more discriptive way to say small waves besides ripple?

small waves that... vibrate like the unique rippling fold of a shaken silk sheet...


Which form of electromagnetic radiation has more energy than visible light waves have?

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has more energy than visible light waves.


Which is more dangerous Visible waves or microwaves?

Microwaves are generally more dangerous than visible waves because they have higher energy levels that can penetrate deeper into tissues and cause harm. Visible waves, such as light, have lower energy levels and are less likely to cause harm to the body.


Is visible a longitudinal or transverse?

Yes I guess the question is related to the visible light. The visible light is transverse in nature. One more important point is that the light waves are not mechanical waves. Mecahnical waves do need a material medium to get traversed. Sound waves are mechanical waves. But light being non mechanical and being electromagnetic it can pass even through vacuum.


What are the waves called that have more energy than light you can see?

Sound because it has more waves than light.


What are some examples of visible waves?

All the things I look at are reflections of visible light waves. I seldom get more than waist deep in the ocean waves. The wind waves over a mountain are shown by hogsbacks, or cumulo-nimbus clouds - strongly striated and layered horizontal clouds continuously forming at the leading edge and vanishing at the trailing edge.


What type of electromagnetic wave has more energy than a visible light wave?

Ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays have more energy than visible light waves.


What are lightwaves called?

Light waves are commonly referred to as electromagnetic waves or electromagnetic radiation. They encompass a range of wavelengths, including visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, and more. Visible light is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be detected by the human eye.


What radiation that travels as waves?

The radiation that travels as waves includes electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays. These waves vary in frequency and energy, with higher frequencies corresponding to more energetic radiation.


Compare the frequency and energy carried by UV waves to that of visible light?

Ultraviolet (UV) waves have a higher frequency and greater energy compared to visible light. While visible light frequencies range from approximately 430 to 750 terahertz (THz), UV waves span frequencies from about 750 THz to several petahertz (PHz). This increased frequency in UV waves translates to higher energy photons, making UV radiation capable of causing chemical reactions, such as those involved in sunburn, which visible light cannot do. Thus, UV radiation is more energetic and more harmful than visible light.


What can radio waves do that visible light cannot?

Radio waves can penetrate obstacles like walls and buildings more effectively than visible light. They are also able to travel longer distances and can be easily transmitted through the Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, radio waves are used in communication technologies such as radar and broadcasting, which are not feasible with visible light.


What type of does the sun release?

sun releases electromagnetic waves of many frequencies. e.g., x-rays, cosmic rays, gamma rays, uv, visible region, infrared radiations, micro waves and radio waves and even more........ if you have more improve this answer !
