A transverse wave can be created in a Slinky^® by moving it

• in a circular motion.
• together and apart.
• up and down.

When on a flat surface, giving the Slinky^® a push or pull will create a disturbance

• in the opposite direction of the wave motion.
• parallel to the wave motion.
• in a circle.
• perpendicular to the wave motion.
