Product Specification
The Metal Body Ripple Tank Apparatus from Micro Technologies is a laboratory apparatus designed for practical investigations and demonstrations involving the behavior of waves. It uses ripples produced on a shallow water surface to provide a visible representation of several fundamental wave phenomena.
The MT-1162 features a robust metal body and supporting frame designed to provide stability during laboratory experiments. A shallow working tank forms the main experimental area in which controlled water waves can be generated and observed.
The apparatus incorporates a wave-generating arrangement that produces regular disturbances on the water surface. Depending on the experimental configuration and accessories used, different wave patterns can be produced for observation and comparison.
The Ripple Tank is particularly useful for demonstrating reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference of waves. Barriers, openings, and suitable depth-changing components can be positioned in the working area to investigate how water waves behave under different conditions.
Experiments can also be conducted to investigate wavefronts, wavelength, frequency, propagation direction, and the relationship between wave parameters. Circular and straight wave patterns may be studied using suitable wave-generating arrangements.
The MT-1162 includes an associated control arrangement for operating the wave-generation system. Its bench-top structure provides a convenient experimental platform while allowing the working area to remain accessible for positioning different wave accessories.
By making wave patterns physically visible on the water surface, the apparatus provides a practical method for investigating wave behavior that can be related to broader concepts in sound, light, and general wave physics.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Metal Body Ripple Tank Apparatus is suitable for physics laboratories, wave and sound laboratories, research facilities, testing laboratories, and other laboratory environments conducting wave-motion investigations.
