Introduction
PASCO model WA-9898 consists of replacement parts for the 
WA-9897 Ripple Tank and the WA-9896 Ripple Generator and 
Light Source. The list of parts is on the next page. 
The parts include barriers and refractors, foam rubber beaches, a 
pipette, and a plastic bottle for use with the Ripple Tank, and dip-
pers, adapters, actuators, and a plane wave dipper for use with the 
Ripple Generator. 
Instructions
The foam rubber beaches on the WA-9897 Ripple Tank are 
attached to the glass plate of the tank with double-sided sticky 
tape. The foam beaches in this replacement set have the same 
type of tape. After you remove the foam beach from the glass 
plate, scrape off any remaining foam and tape if possible before 
putting on the replacement foam beach. 
Note that the short foam beaches are mounted on the sides adja-
cent to the drain hole.
