Ripple Tank Set
Product Code : JL-LEP-10423
The Ripple Tank Set (SKU JL-LEP-10423) demonstrates the properties of transverse waves on water, projected onto a viewing screen for the whole class. The ripple tank has a 55 cm tank with a 40 cm glass bottom, foam beaches, levelling legs, a digital frequency-controlled rippler and a hand rippler, spherical dippers, a parabolic reflector, paraffin blocks and a glass plate, lit by a 6–12 V halogen strobe synchronised to the wave frequency. JaincoLab manufactures it in India.
Specifications
The set comprises a tank of at least 55 × 55 cm with a 40 × 40 cm glass bottom, foam beaches and four levelling legs, digital and hand rippler bars, two spherical dippers, four paraffin blocks, a 20 × 28 cm glass plate, a parabolic reflector, a 60 × 60 cm white viewing screen and a synchronised 6–12 V halogen strobe with frequency display.

Applications of the ripple tank
Plane and circular waves are generated in shallow water and their shadows projected onto the screen, where the strobe freezes the pattern so that students can observe and measure reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference.
- Generating plane and circular waves and measuring wavelength with the strobe
- Showing reflection from straight barriers and the parabolic reflector
- Demonstrating refraction as waves pass over the glass plate into shallower water
- Showing diffraction through gaps between paraffin blocks
- Producing two-source interference patterns with the dippers in senior secondary and college physics
