Chapter 9.1, Problem 1aT
A piece of yarn has been attached to the spring. How did the motion of the yarn compare to the motion of the pulse for each type of pulse that you observed?
The terms transverse or longitudinal are often used to describe the types of pulses you have observed in the demonstration. To what feature of a pulse do these terms refer?
For the rest of this tutorial we will focus on transverse pulses along the spring.
