Procedure Ripple Tank.docx

PROCEDURES 1. Fill the ripple tank with the water about 2 cm 2. Set the vibrator and multimeter in to the equipment to set the frequency and the intensity of the waves 3. Set on the power supply so the motor can spin 4. Observe the waves that appeared, set the power supply voltage until the waves become uniform 5. Put the spot brarrier in the waves path and observe weather the waves change or not 6. If the waves doesn’t change ,then add the length of spot barrier until the waves change, find the max length of spot barrier 7. Vary the fluid on the ripple tank  Salt water  Sugar water  Water 8. Move the barrier and put the glass in the ripple tank 9. Vary the thick of the glass: 1mm, 2mm,3mm 10. And observe how the glass affects the waves and how the shadow of the glass if the glass inside the water (𝜆? 𝜈?) 11. Vary the fluid on the ripple tank too
