Description
New and updated for 2015. This compact unit 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.
