Function and Applications

Student-size ripple tank for hands-on experiments in wave physics at school and in lab courses at universities.  Simply take the device out of the storage cabinet, fill in water and start! The following wave phenomena can be investigated:

• Reflection
• Dispersion
• Refraction
• Interference
• Diffraction

Benefits

• Compact all-in-one design for student desks and lab courses
• Stroboscope for the synchronous or "slow-motion" presentation of waves
• Parameter control by using the self-explanatory keyboard elements on the device
• Projection on the transparent work table to display the wave images free of destortions
• Camera synchronisation mode for optimized video and photo documentation using the mobile phone
• Experiments can be performed within minutes
