Multiple Choice
Which description best describes the differences between the two waves.
One is caused by compressing one end of the slinky, while the other is caused by moving the end of the slinky.
The compression waves travels faster than the other wave.
One wave has a longer wavelength than the other wave.
17
Multiple Choice
Which option best describes what happens to the waves when they reach the other end of the slinky?
Both waves reflect back, but one of the waves 'flips.'
One wave reflects back, the other slows down and then reflects back
The compression wave reflects back, and the other wave's frequency becomes negative.
