Description
● A Ripple Tank is used to demonstrate the basic properties of waves such as wave propagation, reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference.
● Comprises of a shallow rectangular tank with a glass bottom, a drainage outlet and sloping sides mounted on 4 legs with levelling screws. Fitted with metal uprights for an adjustable horizontal rippler support. The rippler assembly consists of a rectangular plastic rod with a series of holes for mounting various dippers.
