Question

A slinky is held freely, now if we pull the free end of slinky and release, then what type of wave will be produced?

Answer 1

Answer:

Longitudinal waves

Explanation:

Since it is given that the slinky is held freely, now if we pull the free end of slinky and release.

Since slinky is a helical spring invented in 1940.

When it is compressed and released then it producing vibration along its own length.There is a compression and rarefaction produced during the vibration and particles of spring are moving back and forth along the direction of waves.Due to this slinky produced longitudinal waves.
