Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 14MCQ
A student attaches one end of a Slinky to the top of a table. She holds the other end in her hand, stretches it to a length l, and then moves it back and forth to send a wave down the Slinky. If she next moves her hand faster while keeping the length of the Slinky the same, how does the wavelength down the Slinky change?
- It increases.
- It stays the same.
- It decreases.
