Surface Tension and Ripples

Surface Tension can be considered as the attractive force between molecules which are in the same medium, eg: water

Here is another Hypothesis provided by Xr.Shim: the Stronger the Surface Tension of the medium, the larger the ripple it can make.

If the Surface tension is Strong:

When one side of the medium is given a stimulation, the as the molecule is oscillating, it attracts the surrounding molecules stronger to oscillate them as well.

If the Surface Tension is Weak:

When one side of the medium is given a stimulation, as the the molecule is oscillating, it attracts the surrounding molecules weaker, therefore the molecules are less "connected"
