Chapter 15, Problem 1CQ

A wave pulse is transmitted down a Slinky, but the Slinky itself does not change position. Does a transfer of energy take place in this process? Explain.

Expert Solution & Answer

To determine

Does the transfer of energy take place in the process of wave pulse transmitted through the slinky.

Answer to Problem 1CQ

Yes, the energy would transfer through the slinky as wave propagating through it.

Explanation of Solution

The formation of wave itself is the transfer of energy through the medium upon which wave travel. Here in this case there must be a transfer of energy in the process of wave pulse transmitted through the slinky.

In slinky the wave produced by the compression or expansion. While doing this the spring would store potential energy. And after releasing the stored potential energy converted to the kinetic energy of the motion. This would go on as long as energy consumes or damped. Thus the wave pulses transmitted through the slinky transfer the energy.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the energy would transfer through the slinky as wave propagating through it.
