Question

the diagram represents a snapshot in time of a wave traveling through a slinky. four locations along the slinky are labeled with a letter. indicate the direction of vibration of the slinky coils at these locations. tap on answer fields to toggle through answer options. location a option 1 of 5 location b option 1 of 5 location c option 1 of 5 location d option 1 of 5 check answer

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze wave motion

In a wave, the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. At a trough (like Location A and D), the next motion of the coil is upwards. At a crest (like Location B and C), the next motion of the coil is downwards.

Answer:

Location A: Upward; Location B: Downward; Location C: Downward; Location D: Upward
