Abstract
In a wave, something always moves back and forth. A longitudinal wave is one that travels along the direction of propagation. In this demonstration, two different devices will be used to illustrate longitudinal propagation. An aluminum bar is used to produce transverse waves. A slinky will be used to visually show longitudinal propagation along the slinky. Finally, the aluminum bar is again used to show differences in longitudinal and transverse wave propagation.
