SPLASHING WATER


on saturday night my friends and i walked down waikiki. and theres this place where water shoots out from under the ground. theres like multiple holes in the ground and its lighted and pretty :) its actually kinda cool and i took a video of it. except i accidentally deleted it so a picture will have to do. i have no idea how this relates to physics but it kinda just made me think physics so here we go. i guess the way the water shot up and splashed back down reminded me of transverse waves or something. in transverse waves, particles move perpendicular to the direction the wave is travelling. these waves are different compared to longitudinal waves where the particles move parallel to the direction the wave travels. the end.
