Answer:

Capillary waves travel faster than long waves.

Step-by-step explanation

Capillary waves are also known as ripples these waves has wavelength of the order of about 1.5 cm or less that it. In capillary waves surface tension of water act as a restoring force. This restoring force is very less in comparison to the air which below on the surface of water due to which these waves are produced. Hence these waves travel faster that long waves.
