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.
Equilibrium position of A wave: "When wave is in rest position its called equilibrium position of a wave" Definition:- A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location. \ Example: Consider a slinky wave as an example of a wave. When the slinky is stretched from end to end and is held at rest, it assumes a natural position known as the equilibrium or rest position. The coils of the slinky naturally assume this position, spaced equally far apart. To introduce a wave into the slinky, the first particle is displaced or moved from its equilibrium or rest position. The particle might be moved upwards or downwards, forwards or backwards; but once moved, it is returned to its original equilibrium or rest position. The act of moving the first coil of the slinky in a given direction and then returning it to its equilibrium position creates a disturbance in the slinky. We can then observe this disturbance moving through the slinky from one end to the other. If the first coil of the slinky is given a single back-and-forth vibration, then we call the observed motion of the disturbance through the slinky a slinky pulse. A pulse is a single disturbance moving through a medium from one location to another location. However, if the first coil of the slinky is continuously and periodically vibrated in a back-and-forth manner, we would observe a repeating disturbance moving within the slinky that endures over some prolonged period of time. The repeating and periodic disturbance that moves through a medium from one location to another is referred to as a wave.

a slinky a slinky fun for everyone a slinky a slinky
I think that the Slinky original is the best. It's bigger than the Slinky Jr. and will most likely go faster! BTW, I LOVE Slinky! Chow, ;)
Slinky coils
depends on the slinky
To fix and stretched out slinky you should put the slinky in hot (not boiling water) for two min, and then take it out and place something heavy on the slinky.
a slinky is necessary because to have fun
A slinky is a toy that you can play with.
Richard James invented the slinky
There are different sizes that you can get a slinky
