All of these factors work together to determine the size of wind waves and the structure of the flow within them. These waves tend to last much longer, even after the wind has died, and the restoring force that allows them to propagate is gravity. As waves propagate away from their area of origin, they naturally separate into groups of common direction and wavelength. Most characteristics of ocean waves depend on the relationship between their wavelength and water depth.

Surface manifestations of internal waves have been photographed from space. Internal waves may mix nutrients into surface water and trigger plankton blooms.

It is the mechanism by which virtually all sinusoidal waves and vibrations are generated. Light confined in the cavity reflects multiple times producing standing waves for certain resonant frequencies. To cause resonance, the phase of a sinusoidal wave after a roundtrip must be equal to the initial phase, so the waves reinforce the oscillation.

As early as 1886, German physicist Heinrich Hertz showed that radio waves could be reflected from solid objects. A radar system has a transmitter that emits radio waves called radar signals in predetermined directions. Short radio waves reflect from curves and corners in a way similar to glint from a rounded piece of glass. The structure will reflect waves entering its opening directly back to the source. The extent to which an object reflects or scatters radio waves is called its radar cross section.
