Ripples on water are similar to light waves in that they both
have the same wavelength
are longitudinal
cannot be reflected
travel at the same speed
can be refracted and diffracted
Uitleg
Both ripples on water and light waves are transverse waves hence they exhibit all the properties of waves such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, and plane polarization.
