Slinky Spring
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11764
Quick Answer: The Slinky Spring is a large, low-stiffness helical spring for showing mechanical waves in class. Its low spring constant makes pulses and continuous waves travel slowly enough to follow, so wave speed, frequency and wavelength can be observed.

Key Features
Low spring constant gives slow, easily seen wave travel.
Works for single pulses and continuous waves.
Large enough to demonstrate to a whole class.
Technical Specifications
Specification Value
Type Helical spring
Spring constant Low, for slow wave travel
How It Is Used
The spring is stretched along a bench or floor between two students. Flicking one end sends a single pulse along it, while moving the end steadily back and forth sets up a continuous wave, letting the class watch wave motion and discuss speed, frequency and wavelength.
