New version of a very effective tool that helps students understand wave
mechanics
The
Ripple Tank is a very effective tool that helps students understand wave
mechanics. The Ripple Tank is also used to introduce, develop and visually
demonstrate wave theory such as refraction, diffraction and interference. Our
unique system uses a pulsed air supply so that standing waves are easy to
reproduce.
No more difficult phase change oscillators to worry about! As with
all Altay products, the Ripple Tank is supplied with all accessories, including
connecting cables and instruction manual.
