Ripple Tank

A ripple tank is a device used in college physics to study wave phenomena, particularly those related to water waves. It consists of a shallow tray filled with water, and a wave generator that produces waves on the water's surface. By adjusting the frequency and amplitude of the waves, students can observe and analyze wave behaviors such as reflection, refraction, interference, and diffraction. The tank often includes barriers and obstacles to simulate real-world scenarios. Measurements and observations made in the ripple tank help students understand wave principles and their applications in various fields, such as optics and acoustics.

波紋槽是大學物理中用來研究波浪現象的裝置，特別是與水波相關的現象。 它由一個裝滿水的淺托盤和一個在水面產生波浪的波浪發生器組成。 透過調整波的頻率和振幅，學生可以觀察和分析波的反射、折射、干涉和繞射等行為。 坦克通常包含障礙物和障礙物來模擬現實世界的場景。 在波紋槽中進行的測量和觀察有助於學生了解波原理及其在光學和聲學等各個領域的應用。
