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.

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 ...

Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and earthquake p-waves. Examples of transverse waves include EM waves, water waves, and earthquake s-waves. ... Push the slinky up and down to make ...

Learn how waves transfer energy from one place to another, the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves, and describe the parts of a wave. ... An outstretched slinky spring.

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, ...

A longitudinal wave is one in which the vibrations of the particles are parallel to the direction in which the energy of the wave travels. ... An outstretched slinky spring.
