  2. Capillary action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_action

    Capillary action of water (polar) compared to mercury (non-polar), in each case with respect to a polar surface such as glass (≡Si–OH). Capillary action (sometimes called capillarity, capillary motion, capillary rise, capillary effect, or wicking) is the process of a liquid flowing in a narrow space without the assistance of external forces like gravity.

  3. Paper towel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_towel

    Paper towels absorb water because they are loosely woven, which enables water to travel between the fibers, even against gravity (capillary effect). They have similar purposes to conventional towels, such as drying hands, wiping windows and other surfaces, dusting, and cleaning up spills. Paper towel dispensers are commonly used in toilet ...

These may have a lower environmental impact than paper towels, [8] though concerns over hygiene mean they are not used by some organisations [9] and have greatly declined in ...

  7. Dispersion (water waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(water_waves)

    For example, under the action of gravity, water waves with a longer wavelength travel faster than those with a shorter wavelength. While two superimposed sinusoidal waves, called a bichromatic wave, have an envelope which travels unchanged, three or more sinusoidal wave components result in a changing pattern of the waves and their envelope.
