When you drop a slinky, the bottom stays motionless until the top 'gets there'

Basic Physics 101.

Compression waves aren't really basic physics 101

yes they are

i learned about them in first year high school physics

My highschool only had one year of physics.







And yes, I learned about compression waves. Wouldn't say it was the most basic or one of the first things we covered though.

if we learned about compression waves in high school then I wasn't listening cool video, I love slow motion stuff
