When a slinky goes down a flight of stairs, it transfers its energy along its length in a longitudinal wave. The whole spring goes down the stairs, end over end, in a periodic fashion. When the top end of a slinky is dropped, the information of the tension change must propagate (in ...
A longitudinal wave is travelling along a spiral spring with a velocity of 2 mis. If the time period of the wave is 0.2s, fmd the wave length. View Solution Sound waves travel from air to water. The velocity of the sound waves in air is332ms−1and wavelength is 2m. If the wavelen...
transverse longitudinal waves : slinky lab! so this lab we did is called the transmission and reflection of a one-dimensional transverse wave... 1. we created a transverse pulse from one side and observed a point near the middle of the spring as the pulse passed... - > so i wrote that...
The model provides a relationship between its oscillation frequencies and those obtained using the massless spring approximation commonly used in oscillation problems. In terms of the Slinky's physical parameters the model provides a physical definition of the effective mass introduced in the Slinky wave...
