If you have access to a Slinky, either through a younger brother or sister or through your local physics lab, try producing some of the effects described in section 15.1.
a. Can you estimate the speed of single longitudinal pulses produced on the Slinky?
b. How does this speed change as the Slinky is stretched?
c. Does transverse pulse travel with the same speed as a longitudinal pulse?
d. Can you produce a continuous longitudinal wave on the Slinky?
