kapillärböljor
Kapillärböljor, also known as capillary waves or ripples, are the smallest type of waves that can form on the surface of a liquid. They are characterized by their extremely short wavelengths, typically less than 1.7 centimeters, and are primarily governed by surface tension rather than gravity. These delicate waves are commonly observed on the surface of water when disturbed by a light breeze or a gentle touch.
The formation of capillary waves is a direct consequence of the liquid's surface tension, which acts to
