Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Longitudinal waves are formed when the particles of the medium vibrate to and fro in the same direction as the wave; longitudinal waves produce compression and refractions. When the slinky is pushed and pulled in one direction, the waves produced in the slinky are longitudinal. We can generate longitudinal and transverse wave pulses on a slinky spring to contrast and compare them. Particles oscillate in transverse waves at an angle to the wave's direction of motion. The particles in longitudinal waves oscillate in the wave's direction of travel.
