The Ripple Tank has the following advantages:
- Simple to assmble
- Ease of carrying out the experiment
- Results reliable and repeatable
- Excellent visual resolution of the wave front
The stroboscopic lamp is made with a highly-luminous 3W LED, which is synchronised with the surface-wave generator.
The control unit is equipped with a digital display and allows setting or inhibiting of the synchronism of the vibrator with the lamp, the wave amplitude modulation and its frequency. The vibrator is of electro-dynamic type.
Dimensions of the tray: 30 x 30cm.
Experiments that can be carried out with the standard supply:
- Superficial waves on water
- Wavefront
- Wavelength
- Propagation speed
- Reflection
- Refraction
- Interference
