In physics, a ripple tank is a shallow glass tank of water used to demonstrate the basic properties of waves. It is a specialized form of a wave tank. The ripple tank is usually illuminated from above, so that the light shines through the water. Some small …

Lascells now does a compact and easy-to-use Ripple-Strobe Tank. No trays, legs, motors, lamps or power packs. Self-contained with built-in, synchronized strobe illumination. Variable frequency and wavelength. Just add water, plug in and go.

2024年10月1日 · Learn about using ripple tanks for your IGCSE Physics exam. This revision note includes reflection, refraction, and diffraction using a ripple tank.

When the driver is driven by a function generator, the dipper causes ripples in the water. To show these ripples, bright light from a xenon arc lamp shines through the tank's glass bottom, reflects off a one square meter front surface mirror, and illuminates a large, thin …

This small and transportable Ripple Tank can be shown with a document camera or video camera. One or two dippers are attached to an electronic ripple generator and create wave patterns. A strobe light helps to image the vibrations.

The Ripple Tank light source is a 12v halogen lamp which gives excellent illumination. The tank has sloping sides which minimise noise. This Ripple Tank System comes complete with: Ripple tank; 4 Push-fit legs; Ripple motor, eccentric cam mounted on ripple bar; 3 Support pillars for supporting the light source and rippler bar; 2 Motor support ...

OPTIKA Ripple Tank has the following advantages:-Simple to assemble-Easy of carry out the experiments-Reliable and repeatable results-Excellent visual resolution of the wave front . The stroboscopic lamp is fitted with an extra-bright 3W LED, which is synchronised with the surface wave generator.

The ripple tank demonstrated a variety of wave phenomena, and was the best known device created by the Physical Sciences Study Committee (PSSC). It was introduced in the late 1950s and remained essentially unchanged for 50 years. In this example, the tank is made of glass with wooden sides and 4 aluminum legs.

Lamp, QI (Quartz Iodine or ‘halogen’) type, 12V x 35W, lateral filament lamp. Used in the old model IEC Ripple Tank as the illuminator.
