An instructor gives a demonstration in which he makes a standing wave on a long thin slinky. The slinky is 6.0 meters long. If y

ou see 3 loops on the slinky when the instructor shakes the end of the slinky at a rate of 2.50 cycles per second, then the speed (in m/s) of transverse traveling waves on the slinky is

The characteristics of standing waves allows to find the result for the speed of the wave is:

The speed wave is: v = 10 m / s

The wave is a way of transmitting energy without mass displacement, , in the attachment we can see a diagram of the standing wave.

Each cycle corresponds to half a wavelength, they indicate that the frequency is 2.50 Hz and there are three cycles, so the wavelength is:

L = $n \frac{\lambda}{2}$
