Ripple Tank Lab
The purpose of this two day lab is to show water waves behavior the same rules of reflection as laser light with the mirror did.
Only now the water waves are the laser light and your mirror is a board in the water. The object for the 1st sketch with circular waves is where you are tapping the water and the image is the apparent center of the arc that reflects off the board. Seven Sketches with everything asked for labeled on each sketch and the six questions answered that are at the end of the procedure handout paper. The Ripple Tank Lab handout
