Lascells Ripple Tank Mklll
Lascells Ripple Tank Mklll
Product code: HE1702512
Product Description
This compact unit from Lascells provides an elegant method of demonstrating the wave phenomena of reflection, diffraction, refraction and interference with none of the setting-up problems usually associated with ripple tanks. The concept has been further developed to offer new features and simplicity in this MkIII design.
The unit is completely self-contained with the translucent viewing screen hinging away to reveal a 12cm water tank. The tank is removable for ease of use and has an integral multi-faceted beach which virtually eliminates unwanted reflections.
Illumination is from a high intensity built-in LED which can be automatically strobed in sync with the waves to give perfectly stationary images, or switched to allow the user independent control of the wave and strobe frequencies giving the impression of wave motion across the viewing screen.
The unit is supplied with three robust dippers which can be easily adjusted to suit the depth of water being used. A selection of barriers shapes and lenses are also provided to enable reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference along with the focussing properties of lenses to be demonstrated. All of the accessories can be stored neatly inside the unit when not in use.
- Dimensions: (L)225 x (W)170 x (H)143
- Weight: 1.07kg
- Input Voltage: Regulated 12V DC +pin
- Current Requirement: 400mA
- Strobe Frequency Range: 30 - 500Hz nominal
- Compact, stand-alone, bench-top Ripple Tank suitable for demonstrations or for use with a small group of students.
- All loose parts can be stored inside the Ripple Tank when not in use to prevent loss.
- 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: Standing Waves
- Using the Ripple Tank in a darkened room will improve wave visualisation, but is not required.
