A SYSTEM FOR THE GENERATION AND MEASUREMENT OF CAPILLARY-GRAVITY WAVES.
Abstract
It is the purpose of the report to describe in some detail a method for the laboratory generation of surface waves for which the effect of surface tension as a restoring force is comparable to that of gravity. Particular attention is paid to the stability of the amplitude and frequency of the waves generated. A wave probe, nominally of the familiar capacitance type, for the measurement of the waves produced is described. An inexpensive, but ultra-linear highly sensitive transistorised detector has been developed, and the circuit description and operation are included here. (Author)
