Slinky spring

\r\n\r\n

Let us try to see if a slinky spring could provide us clues on how does sound travels.
\r\nConsider a slinky spring kept on a table. You compress it by giving it a sudden jerk from one side.
\r\n
\r\nWatch the slow motion video given below.  You can also try it out in your classroom.

\r\nNow let us move our hand back and forth.

                         Video 4.2 (b): Many compressions and rarefactions traveling along a slinky
\r\n
\r\nYou can see that there are alternate regions where the slinky spring is compressed and where it is elongated. The diaphragm of a speaker also moves back and forth. It compresses the air when it moves forward and makes the air rarer/sparser/less dense when it moves backward. Just as these successive compressions and rarefactions that travel along the slinky, sound travels away from a speaker through air. Sound travels in the same way through liquids and solids too.
