Light wave (6)

I believe the answer is:

ripple

(Other definitions for ripple that I've seen before include "Small wave on the surface of a liquid" , "Type of ice cream with coloured syrup" , "Tiny wave; gentle applause" , "Slight disturbance on water's surface" , "Light ruffle on the surface" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
