Figure 8: Ripple generator level Image acquisition To open the data acquisition program, click on the Ripple Tank shortcut located in the quick launch menu. The program will open and ask whether it is OK to launch a camera. If you click Yes, the camera will connect to the computer and will begin streaming the acquisition video.

Here v is the wave speed: ω. v = = f λ. k. (1) ω is the angular frequency, f is frequency, λ is the wavelength and k is the wave number. v is also called phase velocity. A non-dispersive wave has a constant v; dispersion is characterized by a dependence of v on λ. Three different regions are indicated on the dispersion curve from Figure 1:

ψ ( ax − by − vt ) . (1) Here v is the wave speed, and x and y are position coordinates while t is time. The wave speed is in simple cases simply. v = ω = f λ , k where ω is the angular frequency, f is the frequency, is the wavelength, and k is the wave number. The velocity v is technically called the phase velocity.
Techniques to demonstrate wave effects A ripple tank can be used to demonstrate wave properties. A wave is made using an oscillating paddle connected to an electric motor. The depth of the tank can be adjusted to show refraction. A slit can be added to show diffraction. To demonstrate polarization of visible light, polarizing filters. can be used.
Oct 15, 2024 · Wave energy. Waves that transfer energy are known as progressive waves. Progressive waves transfer energy between points, without transferring matter. When a progressive wave travels between two points, no matter actually travels with it. The points on the wave simply vibrate back and forth about fixed positions.

Oct 27, 2023 · Diffraction round an Edge in a Ripple Tank. Diffraction of water waves after passing an edge. The amount of diffraction depends on the size of the gap compared to the wavelength of the water wave. The diagram below shows how the wavelengths differ with frequency in a ripple tank. The higher the frequency of the motor, the shorter the wavelength.
