Inspire Physics Compact Ripple Tanks
About this item
The ripple tank is the most effective way for students to study waves.
Frequency range: 50 to 175 Hz (economy), 1 to 250 Hz (advanced)
- Digital display of frequency
- LED strobe control
- Synchronous and independent modes
- Storage tray with full range of accessories
The Inspire Ripple Tank contains all the accessories needed to cover the full range of experiments, such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference, with the accessories stored in a handy tray at the top of the unit.
There are two models available: Economy and Advanced. With either model, users can change the frequency of both the dippers and the LED strobe lighting.
The advanced model offers a wide range of frequency and amplitude control, as well as a ‘Camera Mode’ to view images or project them on a screen with the help of a camera. For stationary waves, the dipper and strobe frequencies can be synchronized or slightly offset to obtain moving waves.
Delivery information: Kits include: (1) Ripple tank (economy or advanced) with power adapter; (1) spherical barrier; (1) triangular barrier; (1) Rectangular barrier; (1) plano-convex lens; (1) plano-concave lens; (1) double convex lens; (1) double concave lens; (1) prism; (2) large L-shape barriers; (1) large L-shaped barrier with slot; (1) small L-shaped barrier; (1) small diffraction barrier; (1) single-point dipper; (1) double-point dipper; (1) plane bar dipper; (1) dropper.
