Question

What type of wave is produced in a metallic slinky when one of its end is tied to a rigid support, and the free end,

is compressed and released along its length

Answer 1

it is a high pitched sound waves produced ....

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The waves which travel along a slinky when it is stretched along its length and released are longitudinal waves.

-->we can observe in slinky, Compression is a part in which the coils come closer together. Can be Marked with C.

---> Rarefaction is that part in which the coil are farther apart than normal.Can be marked as R

When a wave travels along the slinky, then each turn[coil] of the slinky moves back and forth by a small distance in the direction of wave. Since the particles of the medium are moving back and forth in the direction of wave, the wave which travel across the slinky is Longitudinal Wave.
