Inspire Compact Ripple Tanks (Economy) SA706
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.
- Frequency range 50–175 Hz
- LED strobe control
- Standalone benchtop ripple tank
- Digital display of frequency
- Synchronous & Independent Modes
- Storage tray with full range of accessories
IGCSE Level:
Exp-1 Demonstrates the behavior of waves, including reflection and refraction.
Exp-2 Visualizes transverse wave motion (ripples on the surface of water).
Exp-3 Shows how waves reflect and refract at boundaries.
Exp-4 Allows exploration of wave speed and wavelength calculations.
Exp-5 Demonstrates constructive and destructive interference patterns.
Exp-6 Shows how energy is transferred through different media.
A-Level:
Exp-1 Demonstrates principle of superposition in waves, showing interference.
Exp-2 Properties of waves (frequency, amplitude, wavelength)
Exp-3 Observes the refraction and diffraction of water waves.
Exp-4 Physical representation for understanding electromagnetic wave behavior.
Exp-5 Demonstrates the formation and behavior of standing waves.
Exp-6 Explores how energy is transferred via wave propagation in a medium.
