Ripple Tank
Product Code : JA-MI-4874
The Ripple Tank (SKU JA-MI-4874) is a ripple tank apparatus for showing how water waves travel and change direction. A vibrator creates straight or circular ripples on a shallow layer of water, and a light source projects the wave pattern so that a whole class can follow it. The listing covers two tank sizes, 22 x 22 inch and 15 x 15 inch, each supplied as a complete assembly with vibrator, light source, power supply and standard accessories. It is supplied by JaincoLab for school and college physics laboratories.
Specifications
