Ripple Tank Apparatus

Always a popular lab/demo sequence-waves in a ripple tank! Proven method for studying numerous wave/optics principles. This sturdy ripple tank is made of molded plastic and features a viewing area larger than other ripple tanks. Its bottom is made of high-quality plate perspex to assure projection of distortion-free wave images. Special angled foam beaches around the perimeter of the tank greatly reduce unwanted reflections. The rippler unit consists of a 3-volt motor mounted on a rippler bar that can generate both straight and circular waves. The motor is equipped with a movable counterweight for varying wave amplitude. The complete apparatus includes four foam beaches, one light source support rod, one rippler bar with hangers, one rippler motor, one parabolic reflector, one glass plate, three barriers, four detachable legs.
