Interference of water waves in the wave trough

Experiment no.: 5.8.1
Interferenz von Wasserwellen im Wellentrog
Two synchronised, point-like pins are periodically submerged in water, generating circular wave trains. The circular waves interfere to produce the typical hyperbolic interference pattern.
