Ripple Tank
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 all Altay products the ripple tank is supplied with all accessories, including connecting cables and instruction manual.
We use a unique pulsed air system to produce accurate and repeatable waves with our Ripple Tank.
The electronic controller allows you to control the frequency of the pulses and hence the value of the wavelength.
The controller also co-ordinate the same pulsed air frequency to the stroboscope so that the waves appear to be static and therefore easily measurable. The system also includes a bright light source which is easily moveable to the side of the Ripple Tank.
Laws and principles investigated
|
By using the stroboscopic effect it is quick and simple to have a fixed image of the interference of a plane wave on an obstacle, constructive and destructive interference phenomena between two circular waves.
All this is due to the ripple tank controller that synchronise the stroboscopic flash and the air pulse with a selectable frequency and amplitude.
