This high quality Ripple Tank from Optika combines ease of use with high visual resolution and responsiveness. The stroboscopic lamp is fitted with an extra-bright 3W LED, which is synchronised with the surface-wave generator. The control unit is equipped with a digital display and allows to set or to stop the synchronism of the vibrator with the lamp, the modulation of wave amplitude and its frequency. The vibrator is an electro-dynamic type.When used as a stroboscope, the extra-bright 3W LED light can be synchronised with the wave generator, allowing easy demonstration of standing waves etc.The apparatus comprises a 0-50Hz wave generator, electro-dynamic vibrator unit, 3W LED source with both strobe and steady modes, high quality metal frame with tank, mirror, screen, power supply, comprehensive notes and accessories.The apparatus includes a variety of dippers and accessories, allowing exploration of a wide range of wave phenomena, including wave propagation, reflection, refraction, interference patterns and standing waves.The tank is provided with two adjustable feet and with an easy to-use drain pipe ending with a tap.OPTIKA Ripple Tank has the following advantages:Simple to assembleEase of carrying out the experimentsReliable and repeatable resultsExcellent visual resolution of the wave frontDimensions:Tank (overall): 30 x 30 cmProjection Screen (overall): 30 x 30 cmIdeal for:Superficial waves on waterWavefrontWavelengthPropagation speedReflectionRefractionInterferenceStationary wavesDiffractionHuygens principle
