Name: Slinky on Table Category: Waves and Oscillations Subcategory: Wave Motion Classes:

Comments: A slinky stretched the length of the lecture bench. One end is attached to a rod clamped to the end of the bench. Jerk the spring sideways to create a pulse. Observe how a pulse reflects from a fixed or free end. The free end is approximated by tying the end of the slinky to a light string.
