Mechanical waves require a medium, such as air, to travel through. Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium to travel through.

What waves are mechanical?
Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.
How are em waves different from mechanical waves?
mechanical waves need a medium to travel through, electromagnetic waves do not. Electromagnetic waves can travel through space, mechanical waves can not.:PElectromagnetic waves do not require a medium, but mechanical waves do.
Name one kind of wave that does not require a medium?
An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.
What is the difference between sound waves and electromagetic?
Sound waves requires a medium, electromagnetic waves do not. Sound waves are longitudinal waves, electromagnetic waves are transverse waves. Sound waves Travels at approx. 330m/s in air, electromagnetic waves travel at approx. 3 x 10^8 m/s.
If a radio wave vibrates at 80.0 MHz what is its wavelength?
80 HZ is the frequency of a wave varying at 80 times per second. It could be an acoustic wave (sound), or an electromagnetic wave. (radio or power line)
Is sound a type of electromagnetic wave?
No. Sound is a mechanical wave, not an EM wave.
Is a sound wave a electromagnetic wave in nature?
No. Sound waves are mechanical waves.
Why isn't sound a part of the em spectrum?
Sound is a mechanical wave, not an electromagnetic wave.
Why is sound not an electromagnetic wave?
It is a mechanical wave, which is something quite different.
Which types of these waves is not a mechanical wave?
Examples of mechanical waves are waves in the ocean and sound waves from devices like mouths, trombones, and radios. Electromagnetic waves like sunshine and X-rays are not mechanical waves because matter is not doing the waving.
What kind of waves are sound and light?
Sound is a mechanical wave.Light is an electromagnetic wave.
Is sound an example of an electromagnetic wave?
No. Sound is a longitudinal wave consisting of mechanical vibrations travelling through matter (solid , liquid, gas, etc). An electromagnetic wave (light) is, classically, a transversely oscillating electric and magnetic field and requires no medium in order to travel.
What is non mechanical wave?
Non mechanical waves are Eletro magnetic waves. We can devide 2 waves. 1 is mechanical waves & 2 is electromagnetic waves. For example Sound is a mechanical wave & Light is an electromagnetic wave.
Which of the following is not a mechanical wave' a transverse a longitudinal or a electromagnetic?
An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave.
Are infrared waves sound waves?
No; sound is a mechanical wave, infrared is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Is firelight a electromagnetic or mechanical wave?
mechanical
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does the ultrasonic wave falls into?
An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.
