Moreover, the wave that moves through the toy travels parallel to the compression of the Slinky, making it a "longitudinal" wave, the same type of wave as a sound wave. The normal speed of this ...

The slinky can be shaken to produce longitudinal and transverse waves. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and earthquake p-waves. Examples of transverse waves include EM waves, water ...

This project uses a servo motor and small slinky to demonstrate what a longitudinal wave looks like. Additionally it shows the crests and troughs of that longitudinal wave. It can also be utilized to ...

The movement of the coils of the slinky and the energy are parallel. However, none of the particles are transported along a longitudinal wave. Instead, they move backwards and forwards as the wave ...

Slinkies gets their “walking” ability from two properties: wave motions and Newton’s laws. When a Slinky sits atop a staircase, gravity acts on the toy, keeping it still. Knock over the ...

This uses what’s called a longitudinal vibration, or a compression wave is another version of it. Basically, if you can imagine a slinky, a very long one, and you were to push that slinky out an ...

When the top is let go, a compression wave travels down the toy, and the Slinky doesn't start falling until that wave hits the bottom. "You're changing something at the top and then there's a ...
