Ripple tanks can be used to see how water waves behave. This allows us to predict how other waves will behave. |
|
Use mini ripple tank with webcam. |
|
|
| W |
The peaks can be seen as wave fronts in a ripple tank. |
|
|
|
|
| T |
Waves on water as undulations which travel through water with transverse motion as the wave moves horizontally but the water moves up and down. |
|
What type of wave is a water wave? Mexican Waves |
|
|
| W |
Water waves can be reflected. This is when waves bounce off an object. |
|
What is reflection? Metal strip at an angle in ripple tank. |
|
|
| W |
Water waves can be refracted. This is when waves change direction. |
|
What is refraction? Perspex shape in ripple tank |
|
|
| W |
Water waves can be diffracted. This is when waves spread out through a gap. |
|
What is diffraction? Two metal strips in line with small gap between in ripple tank |
|
|
| D |
Research rogue waves.

Use computers in S7 |

Water waves can add or cancel - superposition:
When peaks meet you get bigger peaks. When a peak meets a trough then they cancel out. |
