I have a question that asks me 'suggest how you would ensure that the propagation of the slinky spring is at 90°, when the spring is clamped to 2 clamp stands?
How can we ensure a 90 degree oscillation when pulling a slinky spring?

SUMMARY
To ensure a 90-degree oscillation of a slinky spring clamped to two stands, precise alignment and tension management are crucial. The oscillation angle can be achieved by adjusting the angle of the clamps and ensuring the slinky is uniformly stretched. Additionally, the setup should minimize external disturbances that could affect the oscillation pattern. Visual aids, such as diagrams or images of the setup, can enhance understanding and execution of this task.
