title: Ripple Tank aka: water wave demonstration device |
Description: A shallow container holds water on the over head projector. Various attachments can be used to illustrate wave behavior: Striaght line propagation Point sources Straight wave fronts Periodic waves & standing waves. Reflection of straight and curved waves Refraction with speed change(depth change) Lenses Diffraction Two point source interference patterns Double slit interference Question: How does the wave cause conentration of light? Would this work on the moon? |
