Use a slinky wave in this activity and answer the given questions. (Note: You may use unused notebook metal spring as alternative if slinky wave is not available at home) 1. Prepare a slinky and a masking tape. 2. Mark a spot on their slinky near the center with masking tape at the top of the loop. 3. Ask someone from your family to hold each end of the slinky. Stretch out the slinky along a table. 4. Take turn in compressing 15 coils and then releasing them rapidly while they hold the end of the slinky, making sure to observe the energy wave travel the length of the slinky. ANSWER THE GUIDE QUESTIONS 1.Describe your observations of the coil and tape. 2.What kind of seismic wave does this slinky motion represent?
