Physics Education – A Computer Based Ripple Tank

  “Krucible is much more than just a ripple tank, it has two other modules covering motion, forces, work and energy. However it is the Waves (ripple tank) module that I really love.  The Krucible ripple tank is a classic example of technology that really works. It makes such a change to have a ripple tank that does what it is supposed to do with so many additional features that can only be achieved with software. This is an example of how software simulation can excel and not only simulate scientific equipment, but provide additional functionality to the equipment – try demonstrating the Doppler Effect with a traditional ripple tank.” Phil Jones
