Detailed Solution

To answer this question, i.e., to determine the wave's velocity. We will consider the total distance travelled by the wave as it travels back and forth, then apply the values given in the question to the velocity formula to obtain the required answer.

We know that speed = DistanceTime

Total distance travelled by the wave in to and fro motion on a slinky =2×10=20 m

Time taken= 10 sec.

Speed=  =2010=2 m/s.

Hence, the velocity of wave is 2m/s.
