7.02 Mechanical Wave Properties [Sutton Ehlen] Purpose To become familiar with mechanical waves properties, including; transverse waves, longitudinal waves, wavelength, frequency, wave speed, and wave behavior. Make sure to go through the Mechanical Wave Introduction PPT before completing this lab. Problem Do all transverse and longitudinal waves have the same properties? Materials extra long slinky string coil spring Procedure (Type your answers in red to these questions.) A. Transverse and Longitudinal Waves You and your partner should sit about 2.5 m apart, each with one end of the slinky. Shake one end of the slinky sideways, and watch the pulse travel down the length of the slinky. Starting from the rest position, reach a short distance down the length of the slinky and gather some coils towards you and quickly release them. If you do not have a slinky watch this video to see the two types of waves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT4KAc0Ag1E Draw the two different types of waves that you created and label the type of wave. Indicate on your diagram how the parts of the slinky move (oscillations) compared to the wave energy transfer. Label one crest, one trough, one compression, and one rarefaction in your diagrams.
