The only man-made water waves I can think of are artificial waves in specialized swimming pools. If the wavelength of the water wave is W, does the instrument generating these waves have to have dimensions on the same order as W?
In other words, if you have a small object, can you generate waves with long wavelengths?
The motivation for this question comes from a song, which have lyrics along the lines of "like a small boat, generating big/long waves..."
