It is used as a demonstration model with an Overhead Projector. Comprises a steel frame with an acrylic window. The frame is shared to form beaches on all sides to minimize unwanted reflections & fits neatly onto an overhead projector. The undersides of the frame has threaded metal inserts to take the four legs provided enabling the tank to be used as a free standing beach model, if required. Facilities are provided for mounting the ripple tank illuminant for this purpose. A gantry is supplied for supporting a motor beam, the height of which is easily adjustable allowing it to be positioned for maximum effect. Ripples are produced by a small 1.5 to 4.5V DC motor mounted on the plastic beam of 240mm length. A standard cam is fitted to the motor spindle to give an oscillatory motion & row of nine holes in the beam are for mounting the spherical dippers for production of circular ripples. |

Consists of a resonance tube brass N.P. 100cms, reservoir brass N.P. 250ml & meter scale both sides millimeters, which are mounted on wooden polished board. The reservoir is caged in wooden block that has sliding & clamping arrangement on the board. The board is mounted vertically on heavy metal base with synthetic hammer finish with levelling screws. Complete with rubber tubing. |
The instrument is a device to illustrate the laws of wave phenomenon-using ripples on the surface of water as the prototypes of all transverse waves. Ripple tank illustrates important wave motions like rectilinear and circular. It can also demonstrate refraction, diffraction and interference of water waves. Tank is supported by four legs having leveling screws. Size of the tank is 595x510x70mm supplied complete with rippler assembly, two straight obstacles 130mm long, one straight obstacle 40mm long, curved reflector 200mm radius, transparent refraction plate, wooden wave roller, one pack of rubber bands, water dropper, sponge, illuminator, hand stroboscope and suitable power supply. It is supplied with instruction manual. |
