If the water is flowing, like in a river or stream, then the cork goes with the flow.

But if it's in a pond, and ripples are rippling out and getting bigger but the cork

is just bobbing up and down, then you have learned something very important

about transverse waves: The material in transverse waves, like the water in

the ripples, or the ground in a seismic surface wave, or the wave in the rope

when you snap one end, just moves back and forth across the line of the

wave's progress. But although energy is carried along, the material stays

where it is and just bobs across the line.
