    Ripple tankWhether you are dealing with the wave properties of light,electromagnetic waves, sound or other types of waves,their behavior is analogous to the behavior of waves on a

    water surface.In a teaching situation water waves have the advantage ofbeing visible and moving so slowly that students canobserve wave phenomena directly.

    By taking advantage of the optical properties of waterwaves, phenomena, can be enlarged and made visible ona screen.

    The Ripple tank provides a dramatic demonstration of thegeneral properties of waves and propagation phenome-na.

    1) Reflection and refraction. By using the linear dipper bar

    plane parallel waves can be produced. The wavesexhibit reflection and refraction when appropriatebarriers are used in the water tank.

    2) Inteference phenomena occur when two point sourcedippers generate circular waves. The distance betweenthe sources and their frequency can be regulated.

    3) Plane parallel waves form point wave sources whenthey encounter a double slit formed by three barriers.

    4) The propagation velocity is dependent upon the depthof the water layer. The transparent lens cross section iscovered by a shallow layer of water.

    ProjectionIntense illumination from the strobe light enables the images to be enlarged and projected using several techniques.On a table it is well-suited for group work e.g. in lab exercises. On a screen it is ideal for classroom demonstrations orlecture halls.

    The vibrator is overloadprotected. The moving parts are con-trolled by means of a double membrane. Height regulation ofthe dippers is continuous using finger screws. The horizon-tal position can also be adjusted.

    The vibrator assembly can also be used to generate waveson a string, in connection with resonance phenomena on flatplates and for the demonstration of the states of matter.

    Lissajous' apparatus

    This apparatus is actually a simple oscilloscope. Amirror is mounted on a moveable steel ball held bytwo strips of spring steel. The two steel strips arespring loaded at one end and each controlled by a2185.00 vibrator at the other. By regulating the oscil-lations with the two vibrators, one can control themotion of the mirror in two mutually perpendiculardirections and thus control the laser beam reflectedby the mirror. The light source can be a gas laser, adiode laser or similar light source. The vibrators, sig-nal generators and light source are not included.

    Inteference pattern model for overhead projectorThe set consists of two transparent plastic plates withprinted wave front patterns for point sources on eachplate. If the plates are placed on top of one another andslightly displaced, aninterference pattern willappear. The pattern canreadily be projectedonto a large viewingscreen using an over-head projector.

    He-Ne laser, modulated,1 mWLaser like the 2885.00 but with the option ofmodulating the light beam. The laser is providedwith a BNC-connector for connection to a signal genera-tor, CD-player or similar signal source. The light beamintensity will then vary with the applied signal. Well suit-ed for demonstration of optical communication usingphotodetector no. 4895.50.Maximum modulation frequency: 1 MHz.

    2885.20 He-Ne laser, modulated, 1 mW

    The laser emits light with a wavelength of 632.8

    nanometers. The emitted light is coherent, i.e. wavefronts propagate in the same phase over a large distancecompared with ordinary light sources. The emitted light ishighly directional and the beam diameter at the laser isabout 0.5 mm increasing very gradually at increasingdistances from the laser. The light emitted is not uniform-ly polarized but changes its polarization at random aro-und the direction of propagation. Light from the laser iswell-suited to demonstrations of optical interference. If aline grating is placed in the laser beam, the interferencepattern will be clearly visible on a projection screen. Thelaser can be used for a wide range of applications in geo-metrical optics, holography, communication etc.

    PhotodetectorThe photodetector is provided with a photo diode whichcan convert laser light intensity values to an electrical sig-nal. The signal can be directed to the built in loudspeakeror be used for measurements via the analog and digitaloutput connections. The photodetector can be used fordemonstrating communication over a laser beam, fiber

    optic communication, plotting of interference patterns,etc. The maximum frequency is 1 MHz.

    Wavelength of light apparatusThe apparatus is designed to measure the wavelength oflight by studying the interference pattern from a doubleslit. The device contains a built in 12 V auto lamp with aholder for color filters and a millimeter scale with phos-

    phorescent moveable markers. The emitted light isviewed at a distance of about 3 meters through a doubleslit. The viewer then directs a co-worker to adjust themarkers on the millimeter scale so that the distancebetween them corresponds to 10 interference maxima.Afterwards the distances can be measured and thewavelength of the light can be calculated. The equipmentis well-suited to student lab exercises. Red and bluecolor filters and a double slit are provided.Power source required: 12 V AC/DC, 1.3 A.

    Tuning fork fordemonstration experiments

    It is easy to hear an ordinary tuningfork but somewhat more difficult to show

    how it moves. The demonstration tuning forkoscillates at a frequency which is barely audible. On theother hand it is easy to observe its motion. Made of nickelplated steel. Length 75 cm.

    Mathematical pendulum with supportThe apparatus consists of two lens-shaped weights ofdifferent material but with the same physical dimensions,so that they have different masses but the same air resi-stance profile. Also supplied is a rod with hooks for two-point suspension and pendulum cord. The mathematicalpendulum is a good approximation to the case of the

    "weightless" cord with all mass concentrated at the cen-ter of gravity of the pendulum bob. In this case the equ-ation for the period is:T = 2p lg, where T is the period, I is the length of the pen-dulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

    Wave apparatus for transverse wavesThis is a very illustrative piece of equipment for demon-

    strating transverse wave motion. It consists of 35 mas -sive metal rods 46 cm long suspended in the middle by ametal wire. The inertia of the system ensures slow andeasily studied wave motion, for the metal rods are provi-ded with a yellow rubber marking at each end (contrast-ing with the black color of the apparatus). The apparatusprovides an excellent illustration of the concepts ofwavelength, frequency, amplitude, reflection and phase.Size: 90 x 46 x 30 cm.

    Wave machineThe apparatus is used for demonstrating longitudinal andtransverse oscillations. It is supplied with a drive shaftwith a crank which acts on a number of vertical rods as itrotates. Each rod has a white dot marking at the top. The

    last eight rods are supplied with an angular extensionwhich makes it possible to observe corresponding longi-tudinal and transverse waves.A 360 degree scale is moun-ted by the hand swing so that the phase angle can be readoff. Dimensions: (LxHxD) 48 x 32x10 cm. Mass: 1 kg.
