About This Product
Ripples on the water surface act as models of transverse waves, so the tank is used to illustrate the laws of wave behaviour. The straight obstacles and curved reflector are placed in the water to shape the waves, and the transparent refraction plate is used for refraction work. The illuminator lights the wave pattern and the hand stroboscope is used when viewing the moving waves.
