Minimum concentration of surface-active material required for damping of capillary waves

Abstract

It is shown that for low concentrations of surface-active and surface-inactive materials dissolved in a liquid, their effect on the behavior of capillary wave motion differs from the case of standard concentrations: the surface-active material does not cause the capillary wave damping, while the surface-inactive material does not destroy the stability of the free surface of the liquid. The presence of an electric charge on the free surface of the liquid weakens the phenomenon.
