eisco Economy Ripple Tank
eisco Economy Ripple Tank
Product code: A1810703
Product Description
This advanced ripple tank comes complete with all accessories needed for wave investigations: there is no need for a separate overhead projector. It includes an electronic strobe and control as well as a Wave Generator unit. There is also an in-built projection screen for easy viewing of wave formations.
The frame is made of reinforced plastic and with foam beaches (to negate reflections). There is a mirror which can be mounted at 45 degrees to project the ripples onto a translucent screen on one side of the unit. Intense illumination by a strong light source, which is synchronized with the wave generator, helps students to observe the wave patterns on a workgroup table.
The complete set comprises of:
- Vibration Generator
- Ripple Tank
- Wave Monitor unit
- Projection Mirror
- Projection Screen
- Footers with adjustment screws
- Wave Dippers
- Perspex Objects
- Lever arm and support
The Ripple Tank includes a comprehensive assembly and information booklet to assist with teaching the topic of Waves.
Dimensions (approx.):
- Ripple Tank: 32 x 38cm
- Mirror: 33 x 40cm
- Screen: 33 x 30cm
- Compact
- Easy to assemble
- Bench-top Ripple Tank suitable for demonstration or student group use.
- Key Stage 3 Physics - Waves: Waves on water as undulations which travel through water with transverse motion; these waves can be reflected, and add or cancel – superposition.
- Key Stage 4 Physics - Wave Motion: Transverse and longitudinal waves. Describe wave motion in terms of the wavelength and frequency of waves in water, explaining how these may be measured, that they are transverse, that it is the wave and not the water itself that travels; explain the relationship between velocity, frequency and wavelength.
- GCSE Required Practical: Waves
- Using the Ripple Tank in a darkened room will improve wave visualisation, but is not required.
