Moulded Plastic Ripple Tank Apparatus
Model Number: MT-1164
The Moulded Plastic Ripple Tank Apparatus from Micro Technologies is a laboratory wave-motion system designed for practical investigations of reflection, refraction, diffraction, interference, wavelength, frequency, and water-wave propagation. The MT-1164 features a moulded plastic tank, supporting frame, wave-generation arrangement, control unit, and compatible accessories for versatile wave experiments.
Product Specification
The Moulded Plastic Ripple Tank Apparatus from Micro Technologies is designed for laboratory investigations and demonstrations involving fundamental wave phenomena. The apparatus produces visible ripples on a shallow water surface, providing a practical way to observe and analyze the behavior of waves.
The MT-1164 incorporates a moulded plastic ripple tank supported on a stable laboratory frame. The moulded construction provides a practical working area for holding a shallow layer of water while allowing different wave patterns to be generated and studied.
A wave-generating arrangement is positioned above the working tank to create controlled disturbances on the water surface. Depending on the experimental setup, different wavefront configurations can be produced and observed.
The apparatus is suitable for investigating important wave phenomena including reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference. Compatible barriers, wave generators, depth-changing components, and other accessories can be positioned in or around the working area according to the experiment.
The MT-1164 can also be used to investigate wavelength, frequency, wavefront shape, propagation direction, and the behavior of straight and circular water waves. The visible ripple patterns provide a convenient representation of concepts applicable to general wave physics.
A separate control arrangement supports operation of the wave-generating system. This enables suitable experimental conditions to be established for different wave-motion investigations.
The moulded plastic configuration offers a practical alternative for laboratories requiring a dedicated ripple tank setup with an accessible experimental area and supporting accessories.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Moulded Plastic Ripple Tank Apparatus is suitable for physics laboratories, wave laboratories, research facilities, testing laboratories, and other laboratory environments conducting practical wave-motion investigations.
