The ripple tank can be used to study almost all the wave properties: reflection, refraction, interference and diffraction. In addition to this, the wave phase velocity can be investigated at different water depths and in the presence of obstacles of various shapes.
The ripple tank provides an ideal laboratory context for a first study of wave phenomena. Wave phenomena are ubiquitous in the natural world and have been as a result been stud-ied extensively.
GENERAL BACK GROUND OR THEORY ON THE EXPERIMENT: Ripple tanks are used to study water wave behavior in two dimensions. The more abstract concepts of reflection, refraction, dispersion, and interference can be demonstrated by a ripple tank and then applied to other wave phenomena that occur with light and sound waves. The ripple tank provides a dramatic demonstration of the general properties ...
The purpose of this experiment is to observe and sketch an interference pattern in a ripple tank 1) Remove the metal barriers or any other accessories from the tank.
In-sert the threaded end of a ripple bar hanger into the holes in each side of the ripple tank frame. Suspend the rip-ple bar from the hangers with rubber bands. Adjust the height of the hangers until the ripple bar (or wood beads) just touch the surface of the water. Fasten the hangers in place with wingnuts.
Ripple Tank Lab. Ripple Tank Lab Purpose: Use a ripple tank to investigate wave properties of reflection, refraction and diffraction. A ripple tank provides an ideal medium for observing the behavior of waves. The ripple tank projects images of waves in the water onto a screen below the tank. Just as you have probably observed in a swimming ...

Ripple tank has the following advantages: simple to assemble, easy of carry out the experiments, reliable and repeatable results and an excellent visual resolution of the wave front.
One way to change the amount of interference produced by two in-phase point sources is to change their separation distance but leave their frequency unchanged. When two in-phase point sources are moved closer together, there is less interference produced, as evidenced by fewer nodes. When the amount of interference decreases, the width of any ...
Introducing the ripple tank, a powerful tool that can help students visualize wave behaviour in general. By pointing out that wavefronts are perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave, you can link ripple tank experiments to experiments in optics, where rays show the direction of motion of the light. This is a set of experiments on wave reflections. Students are introduced to ripple ...

The ripple tank provides an ideal laboratory context for a first study of wave phenomena. Wave phenomena are ubiquitous in the natural world and have been as a result been studied extensively. Two-dimensional waves in water display more complicated behavior than acoustic or electromagnetic waves, but, they are an accessible system with which various wave properties can be observed. In the ...
In the ripple tank, the wave crests focus light from the light source and produce bright lines on the paper. Troughs in the ripple tank waves cause the light to diverge and produce dark lines (Areas of no disturbance). In this experiment you will investigate a number of wave properties, including reflection, refraction and diffraction.
