Question
One end of a slinky was fixed to a wall. Its free end was moved back and forth continuously. What kind of wave does the pattern formed in the slinky represent?
- Transverse wave
- Longitudinal wave
- Both 1 and 2
- None of the above
Hint:
Back and forth movement is present in a longitudinal wave
The correct answer is: Longitudinal wave
- A wave of motion moves back and forth along the slinky which travels the slinky.
- It is in the same line as the direction of motion, therefore this is a longitudinal wave.
- So, the correct option is b.
