A little wave generator (a ripple tank) can be purchased or fabricated based on a small battery-powered electric motor. Or, you might use an applet to run a computer generated experiment! Links are provided. Have some fun.

What is a steady wind that can produce a series of waves?

A steady wind that can produce a series of waves is called a fetch. Fetch refers to the distance of open water over which the wind blows in a constant direction. As the wind blows over the water surface, it transfers its energy to the water, creating waves that travel in the direction of the wind.


Are water waves compressional waves?

Compressional waves are waves that produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. Water waves are not considered as compressional waves.


Does sound produce waves?

Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.


Why does heavy stones produce more waves than light stone?

Heavy stones produce more waves than light stones when thrown into water because they displace more water due to their weight. The displacement creates more ripples and waves on the surface of the water.


What does Friction between wind and water produce?

Friction between wind and water can produce waves, by transferring energy from the wind to the water's surface. This energy causes the water molecules to move in circular motions, generating wave patterns.


Steady flow and non steady examples?

Steady flow: Water flowing through a pipe at a constant rate with uniform velocity is an example of steady flow. Non-steady flow: Waves in the ocean where the water motion is constantly changing in both intensity and direction represent non-steady flow.


An insect that produces waves in the water also produces waves in the air. What can thses air vibrations produce?

Oxygen


Does the amount of iron filings in water effect waves when a magnet passes over?

No, the amount of iron filings in water does not affect waves when a magnet passes over. The iron filings would be attracted to the magnet, creating a visual effect, but they do not disrupt the propagation of waves in the water.


Dropping a stone into water will produce what kind of wave?

Dropping a stone into water will produce circular waves that spread outwards from the point of impact. These waves are called ripples and are a type of surface wave.


What two spheres interact to produce waves and currents?

The atmosphere and the hydrosphere interact to produce waves and currents. Wind blowing over the surface of the water generates waves, while the rotation of the Earth and differences in water density create ocean currents.


Particles or waves given off by atoms undergoing nuclear decay produce?

Produce a large amount of heat and energy which is utilized for many purposes


What wave is a wave of energy produced at the focus of an earthquake?

A seismic wave. If the earthquake occurs under water, the seismic waves can produce waves in the water called tsunami.
