Capillary waves (ripples) are small amplitude and wavelength waves, commonly seen, for example, when an insect or small particle hits the water surface. They are waves generated due to the interaction of the inertia force of the fluid ρ and the fluid surface tension σ. The wavelength is

- Somewhere DEEP BELOW THE EARTH's surface, at an UNKNOWN displacement from the Earth's center, a particle of mass m is dangled from a long string, length L; the particle oscillates along a small arc according to the differential equation d^2x/dt^2=-(pi^2/36)x. Here x refers to an angular displacement measured from the vertical and t refers to time. The particle's mass is given by m=3kg. The length of the string is given by L=5 meters. Whenever the particle arrives at a location of x=(pi/12) radians from the vertical, the particle has no instantaneous speed. On both sides of the vertical, that is, x=(pi/12) radians is repeatedly observed to be a 'turning point' for the particle's periodic motion. 1.
