So in this question, we want to know which way you should move your hand or which kind of motion will, can impart to a stretched coil spring or a slinky to provide a transverse wave or longitudinal waves.
00:14
So first let's define these words.
00:16
Transverse wave is when particles vibrate perpendicular to the wave.
00:40
So if we have our slinky and we want the waves to travel this way, in order to make a transverse wave, we need the actual slinky.
00:52
To vibrate up and down.
00:55
So what we would see is a wave of this kind of shape.
01:09
For longitudinal waves, the particles vibrate parallel to the wave.
01:41
So if we have our slinky, and we want the waves to move across like this...
