There are three main factors that affect wave formation: wind velocity, fetch, and duration.
Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest.
A). No. A mirror doesn't separate light into its different wavelengths.
B). No. Light doesn't separate into its different wavelengths when it
goes, say, from glass into water.
C). No. When light goes through your glasses, it doesn't separate
into its different wavelengths.
D). Yes ! When sunlight shines into droplets of water in the atmosphere,
it comes out separated into its different wavelengths. When we see that
happening in the air in front of us, we call it a "rainbow".
Newtons 1st law of motion - an object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest tends to stay at rest
The characteristics that you must know in order to place them are the stars' absolute magnitudes or luminosities, and their spectral classifications or effective temperatures
