This high quality Ripple Tank from Optika combines ease of use with high visual resolution and responsiveness. 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. When used as a stroboscope, the extra-bright 3W LED light can be synchronised with the wave generator, allowing easy demonstration of standing waves etc. The apparatus comprises a 0-50Hz wave generator, electro-dynamic vibrator unit, 3W LED source with both strobe and steady modes, high quality metal frame with tank, mirror, screen, power supply, comprehensive notes and accessories. The apparatus includes a variety of dippers and accessories, allowing exploration of a wide range of wave phenomena, including wave propagation, reflection, refraction, interference patterns and standing waves. The tank is provided with two adjustable feet and with an easy to-use drain pipe ending with a tap. OPTIKA Ripple Tank has the following advantages:. Simple to assemble.
