Zusammenfassung

In this article we present a ripple tank with 3D printed components including a control unit with Arduino microcontroller that can be inexpensively replicated. With the presented setup, experiments such as Huygens’ principle, diffraction, and the double-slit experiment according to Young are possible. Due to the simple operability and the comparatively low price, the experiments can be carried out easily and quickly by the learners themselves.
