Question

By shaking a large demonstration spring that is attached to a wall at the other end, each vibration creates a new pulse or wave. As each pulse meet the reflection of the previous pulse, they interact and interfere according to the superposition principle. If you vibrate the the spring at the proper frequency, a(n) ___ wave is generated.

The correct answer is:

D. standing

When you vibrate the spring at the proper frequency, it creates standing waves due to the interference of the waves traveling in opposite directions (from the vibration and the reflection at the wall).
