How can you make compression wave using a slinky?
when you pull one end of the slinky, the slinky travels through in waves.
Why electromagnetism is a wave are using a slinky?
b
What is the motion of the hand wave?
It'a like a slinky! :D
What wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance?
It would be a longitudinal wave. If you were to conduct an experiment to see which wave travels in the same direction as the disturbance, you would take a slinky and push it. And if you watch the wave, you'll see that it travels through the slinky outward, and travels back to the disturbance (your hand). This wave is a longitudinal wave.
What kind of waves travel through air and can be demonstrated by a slinky?
You seem to be referring to sound waves. When you see the coils of a slinky become alternately close together and then farther apart you are seeing what happens to the molecules in air when a sound wave passes and compresses them then decompresses them.
Describe the wave pulse that travels down the slinky?

What type of wave would a slinky represent?
A slinky can transfer both longitudinal and transverse waves.
Is a example of a mechanical wave?
the Slinky waves need the Slinky, and the waves in the ocean need the water.
What is the name of the wave shown by pushing a slinky back and forth?
Longitudinal Wave.

What is alongitudinalwave?
Longitudinal wave: is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves. Suppose that a slinky is stretched out in a horizontal direction across the classroom and that a pulse is introduced into the slinky on the left end by vibrating the first coil left and right.

What is a kind off wave produced in stretched string?
the wave produced in a stretched string will be a standing wave .it will have a node and antinode.node means point with zero displacement and antinode means point with maximum displacement
What is equilibrium position in sound waves?
Equilibrium position of A wave: "When wave is in rest position its called equilibrium position of a wave" Definition:- A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location. \ Example: Consider a slinky wave as an example of a wave. When the slinky is stretched from end to end and is held at rest, it assumes a natural position known as the equilibrium or rest position. The coils of the slinky naturally assume this position, spaced equally far apart. To introduce a wave into the slinky, the first particle is displaced or moved from its equilibrium or rest position. The particle might be moved upwards or downwards, forwards or backwards; but once moved, it is returned to its original equilibrium or rest position. The act of moving the first coil of the slinky in a given direction and then returning it to its equilibrium position creates a disturbance in the slinky. We can then observe this disturbance moving through the slinky from one end to the other. If the first coil of the slinky is given a single back-and-forth vibration, then we call the observed motion of the disturbance through the slinky a slinky pulse. A pulse is a single disturbance moving through a medium from one location to another location. However, if the first coil of the slinky is continuously and periodically vibrated in a back-and-forth manner, we would observe a repeating disturbance moving within the slinky that endures over some prolonged period of time. The repeating and periodic disturbance that moves through a medium from one location to another is referred to as a wave.
