When a motor boat moves through water, it creates disturbances that result in surface waves. Water surface waves are complex and involve particle motion that is neither purely longitudinal nor purely transverse. Water particles on the surface move in circular or elliptical paths, which implies components of both longitudinal displacement (parallel to the wave direction) and transverse displacement (perpendicular to the wave direction).
The waves produced by motor boat sailing on water are
