Mechanical Waves
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
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.
Electromagnetic waves do not lose energy over time. The field of magnetism swaps form and orientation with the electric field and back. There are frictional losses in mechanical waves which dampen them out over time.
No. The 2 types of mechanical waves are transverse waves & longitudinal waves
False. The energy from the Sun comes in the form of electromagnetic waves. Those are not mechanical waves.
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.

Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.

Seismic waves are 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.
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
