Inspire Compact Ripple Tanks (Advanced) SA705I
The ripple tank is the most effective way for students to study waves. 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 also offers a wide range of frequency and amplitude control, as well as a ‘Camera Mode’ to view images with the help of a camera. For stationary waves, the dipper and strobe frequencies can be synchronized or slightly offset to obtain moving waves. Additionally SA705I offer a standout feature is the Camera Projection Mode, which enables wave patterns to be projected onto a screen for large audience demonstrations, making it perfect for interactive teaching sessions.
Inspire Ripple Tank Camera Stand - SA730
A camera, mounted on a flexible stand, is designed for use with the Advanced Ripple Tank. This setup enables clear viewing of generated waves on a whiteboard or projector, providing a convenient way to observe wave patterns. For optimal performance, be sure to use the ‘Camera Mode’ on the Inspire Advanced Ripple Tank.
