3032 - Ripple tank

• Simple to assemble
• Easy of carry out the experiments
• Reliable and repeatable results
• Excellent visual resolution of the wave front

The stroboscopic lamp is fitted with an extra-bright 3W LED, which is synchronised with the surface-wave generator. The control unit is equipped with a digital display and allows to set or to stop the synchronism of the vibrator with the lamp, the modulation of wave amplitude and its frequency. The vibrator is electro-dynamic type. The tank is provided with two adjustable feet and with an easyto-use drain pipe ending with a tap.
