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.

What is the size ranges of a surface wave?

Surface waves can vary in size from small ripples on the water's surface to large tsunami waves that can be tens of meters high. The size of surface waves depends on factors such as wind speed, duration, and distance over which the wind blows.


what happens when gravity works on large drops of water?

When gravity acts on large drops of water, the drops become unstable and tend to break apart into smaller drops. This is because the force of gravity exceeds the surface tension that holds the water droplet together, resulting in the droplet stretching and eventually separating into smaller droplets.


What term used to describe a body's resistance to a change in motion?

Inertia. The larger the mass of the body the larger its inertia, in other words a heavy object would require a large driving force to make it initially move and a large force as well to make it stop moving or change direction.


What is a tetra joule?

A tetrajoule is a unit of energy equal to 10^12 joules. It is commonly used in scientific contexts to describe large amounts of energy, such as in the study of nuclear reactions or astrophysics.


What happens when w gets very large?

As w gets very large, the impact on whatever it describes also increases significantly. In machine learning, a large value of w can lead to overfitting of a model, where the model performs well on the training data but poorly on new, unseen data. It can also lead to numerical instability and computational issues in calculations involving very large numbers.

What may happen when ripples on a pond encounter a large rock in the water?

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.
