The phrase "a thin wave" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a wave that has a small amplitude or is narrow in width, often in contexts related to physics, oceanography, or metaphorical uses.
Example: "As the boat sailed across the lake, it created a thin wave that rippled gently behind it."
Alternatives: "a narrow wave" or "a slight wave."
Each had a trademark which singled them out - in Pablinho's case, it was a thin, fizzy wave shaved across his head.
Thin wave clouds may form at great heights (up to 10 km, even over hills only a few hundred metres high) and occasionally are observed in the stratosphere (at 20 to 30 km [12 to 19 miles]) over the mountains of Norway, Scotland, Iceland, and Alaska.
The succession is typically mudstone, often with thin wave rippled sand beds (Boggs 2011).
The garden has been completely dug up and the spot where Hanny's body was discovered is marked by a thin pole, waving in the wind.
A thin-plate wave generator was built for simulating waves.
With retaining rings having different designs, and all else being the same, a thinner bow wave was preferred since it was indicative of a ring design that allowed more slurry to flow into the pad wafer interface.
Jamie's got us slowly running thin waves of pasta dough through a special Jamie-branded pasta machine.
In this paper, it is shown that this kind of representation can be obtained for a very wide class of sound propagation problems above or within layered media: a half-space bounded by a locally reacting surface, a finite layer of porous medium, a porous medium with depth-varying porosity, a thin elastic plate; wave propagation in shallow water with an impedance bottom.
Many physical phenomena, in the purely dispersive limit, are governed by this type of equation, such as the long waves on a thin liquid film [15], the Rossby waves in a rotating atmosphere [16], and the isolated vortex of drift waves in a three-dimensional plasma [17].
The first encounter between the two fictional legends occurs in Chapter One, when Doctor Watson, in search of someone with whom to share lodgings, is introduced to a tall, thin "student" waving a test tube in a chemistry lab at St Bartholomew's Hospital.
