Well when you swing it or push it it can show rarefctions and even compressions.
Compressions and rarefractions make up sound waves. These look like squashed up coils of a spring and then stretched out coils. Try using a slinky on the ground to show it. Grab a friend, and hold both ends of the slinky stretched across the room, then push at one end. You will see the compression move along the slinky. Do it over again rapidly and you will see the series of compressions, which mirrors the behavior of a sound wave.
when you pull one end of the slinky, the slinky travels through in waves.
both, a longitudinal and transverse wave.
As sound is an example of a longitudinal wave, sound has a series of compressions and rarefactions.To explain a bit more, compressions are the squeezes of the wave while rarefactions are the stretches of the wave.

describe the wave pulse that travels down the slinky?

A slinky can transfer both longitudinal and transverse waves.
the Slinky waves need the Slinky, and the waves in the ocean need the water.
Longitudinal Wave.

It has a large amplitude if the compressions of the wave are dense.
