    frequency harmonic oscillation length slinky wavelength
(a) A moving ridge traveling on a Slinky® that is stretched to 4.five m takes 2.six s to travel the length of the Slinky and back again. What is the speed of the wave?
For this ane, I did v = d/t
= 4.5 m / 2.6 southward
= i.73 m/s

Then I did v = (one.73)(2) = 3.46 m/due south
This is correct

(b) Using the aforementioned Slinky stretched to the same length, a standing wave is created which consists of five antinodes and 6 nodes including both ends. What is the wavelength of the wave?
I go along getting stuck on this i, and (c) below. I know this answer should exist in meters.

(c) At what frequency must the Slinky exist oscillating?
I know this answer should be in Hz.

Im non sure which equations to apply for (b) and (c)

Whatsoever help is greatly appreciated!

(a) A wave traveling on a Slinky® that is stretched to 4.5 m takes 2.6 s to travel the length of the Slinky and back once more. What is the speed of the wave?
For this one, I did v = d/t
= 4.5 g / 2.6 s
= 1.73 grand/s

Then I did v = (1.73)(2) = three.46 m/s
This is correct

Not actually. At that place's no expert reason to carve up 4.five m by 2.6 south as those 2 quantities don't accept anything to do with each other.
(b) Using the same Slinky stretched to the same length, a standing moving ridge is created which consists of five antinodes and 6 nodes including both ends. What is the wavelength of the wave?
I keep getting stuck on this one, and (c) below. I know this answer should be in meters.
Outset by drawing a motion-picture show of a snapshot of the standing wave. You can then identify what fraction of the length of the Slinky is equal to 1 wavelength.
(c) At what frequency must the Slinky exist oscillating?
I know this answer should be in Hz.

Im not certain which equations to apply for (b) and (c)

Whatever assistance is greatly appreciated!

(a) A moving ridge traveling on a Slinky® that is stretched to four.five thou takes two.6 s to travel the length of the Slinky and back over again. What is the speed of the wave?

read the question over again, practice you see where you lot made a mistake in your assumption ?
Note specially the length, total length and travel time :wink:

You need to identify the nodes and anti-nodes.
What is the distance between them?
A diagram would be useful in this regard.
The waves existence referred to are probably compressional waves, then if you take studied sound waves which
travel by compressions and rarefactions, and then how exercise these relate to wavelength.
Too, you know that if the Slinky is stretched to the same length so the tension in the Slinky is constant.
How does tension relate to frequency and wavelength?
Promise you lot find these comments useful.

Yes I made a diagram, information technology was very useful.
I figured it out! Thank you for your assist
read the question once again, do you see where you lot made a mistake in your supposition ?
Annotation particularly the length, total length and travel time :wink:

Thank you for your help Dave!
