C. LEARNING TASK 3:
Use a slinky wave in this activity and answer the given questions.
(Note: You may use unused notebook metal spring as alternative if slinky wave is not available at home)
1. Prepare a slinky and a masking tape.
2. Mark a spot on their slinky near the center with masking tape at the top of the loop.
3. Ask someone from your family to hold each end of the slinky. Stretch out the slinky along a table.
4. Take turn in compressing 15 coils and then releasing them rapidly while they hold the end of the slinky, making sure to observe the energy wave travel the length of the slinky.
Guide Questions:
1.Describe your observations of the coil and tape.
2.What kind of seismic wave does this slinky motion represent?

Answer:
1.)I can describe what I did he is hard to do and I can handle it for the Future.
2.)Push and pull the Slinky at the same time that you move it up and down; your hand should move in a circle. This circular-motion wave models an earthquake wave called a Rayleigh wave. Rayleigh waves transmit energy from the epicenter—the point on the surface that's above the focus—along the earth's surface. 4.
2. What kind of seisemic wave does this slinky motion?for me the answer is Rayleigh waves.
