If you take a long spring/slinkie, and stretch across a table or the floor by holding it at either end and making a quick up down movement with your arm you can send a wave down the slinkie. The height of the wave can be determined by the power of the shake
I hope this helps, it was demonstated in Physics to us

How can a slinky toy demonstrate the difference between a transverse and longitudinal wave?
If you hold the ends of a slinky toy so that it is stretched out horizontally you can demonstrate excitations of both transverse and longitudinal waves. If you move one end of the slinky up and down in a periodic fashion you will see transverse waves. If you move one end of the slinky in and out along the horizontal direction that it is stretched out in, you will excite longitudinal waves.
What type of medium does waves on spring has?
Waves on a spring are mechanical waves, specifically longitudinal waves. This means that the particles in the medium (spring) oscillate back and forth in the same direction as the wave is traveling.
Echoes demonstrate which behavior of sound waves?
Echoes demonstrate the reflection behavior of sound waves, where sound waves bounce off a surface and return back to the listener's ears.
Where are sound or light waves stretched out?
Sound waves can be stretched out in larger spaces like concert halls or outdoor venues where the sound has more space to travel before reaching the listener. Light waves can be stretched out in the form of redshift when celestial objects are moving away from us in the expanding universe, causing their light waves to be shifted towards longer, redder wavelengths.
What can be used to demonstrate a wave?
A slinky spring or a rope can be used to demonstrate a wave. By creating a disturbance at one end, such as a pulse or oscillation, you can observe the wave motion propagating through the medium. These physical models help to visualize properties of waves such as wavelength, frequency, and amplitude.

What toy is used to demonstrate seismic waves?
A popular toy used to demonstrate seismic waves is the Slinky toy. By holding one end of the Slinky and shaking it back and forth, you can create a visual representation of how seismic waves travel through the Earth. The coils of the Slinky demonstrate the movement of energy waves, similar to how seismic waves move through the Earth.

When sitting on a bed the springs demonstrate which property of mechanical waves?
the mechanical waves that it is demostrating is refraction
What mechanical waves like sound water waves earthquake waves and waves in a stretched string propagate?
Mechanical waves like sound, water waves, earthquake waves, and waves in a stretched string propagate by transferring energy through the vibration of particles in the medium they travel through. As the wave passes, particles in the medium move back and forth in the direction of the wave, transferring the wave's energy from one particle to the next.
What s the medium for waves on a spring?
The medium for waves on a spring is the material of the spring itself. When a disturbance is applied to one end of the spring, it creates a wave that travels through the spring by particles of the material transferring energy to each other.
What are the stretched out parts in longitudinal waves called?
The stretched out parts in longitudinal waves are called rarefactions. These are regions where the particles of the medium are spread out, creating a lower pressure area compared to the surrounding compressed regions known as compressions.
What is question would you ask that you could test with an investigation using a spring toy to learn about the energy waves?
How does changing the amplitude of the spring toy affect the distance the energy wave travels?
What is used to model waves?
Toy spring.
