electromagnetic waves are wave that do not require a material medium for their propagation while mechanical wave requires a material medium for example light wave is an electromagnetic wave it does not require any material medium(depends on air or water)for their propagation i.e even in the absence of air light will still travel... sound wave is a mechanical wave because sound do not travel in a vacuum....
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space or a medium while mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy.
Apex- They don't require a medium to travel through.
Light does not travel as a mechanical vibration. It can pass through some mediums, but through a vacuum as well.
The mechanical waves exist in a medium (water, land, air, metal, etc.). The electromagnetic waves can "travel" through vacuum, that is, without a medium.
By laastos.
The passage of a light wave can cause electrically charged particles to move up and down.
Mechanical waves require a medium for their propagation whereas electromagnetic waves require a medium for their propagation.
because there's a current in the mechanical wave that gives sunlight
They don't require a medium to travel through. - apex ....what a wanker
Ultrasonic waves are high frequency sonic waves. They're sound, which is mechanical energy. Electromagnetic waves are waves of electromagnetic energy, like radio waves or light. Mechanical energy is different from electromagnetic energy, hence the reason for ultrasonic waves not taking the form of electromagnetic waves.
vacuum
Radio waves are electromagnetic. That's how they can get down here from satellites.
Sunlight and radiowaves are examples of electromagnetic waves, which are transverse mechanical waves. Sound waves are compression waves.
Mechanical waves require a medium for their propagation whereas electromagnetic waves require a medium for their propagation.

Electromagnetic waves
Electromagnetic waves
light waves are electromagnetic
Mechanical waves require a medium to travel, where electromagnetic waves do not.
The biggest difference is that mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and electromagnetic waves do not.
No, they are mechanical waves.
The biggest difference is that mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and electromagnetic waves do not.
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
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.
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.
