What form when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate?
Mechanical Waves
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
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.
What is the difference between a mechanical wave or a transverse 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.
Is it true transverse and congressional waves are the two types of mechanical waves?
No. The 2 types of mechanical waves are transverse waves & longitudinal waves
True or false. Mechanical waves bring energy from the sun.?
False. The energy from the Sun comes in the form of electromagnetic waves. Those are not mechanical waves.
What is the reason for ultrasonic waves not being in the form of electromagnetic 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.
Is sound waves mechanical or waves?
Mechanical
What form when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate?
Mechanical Waves
How em waves different from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
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.
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.
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
What is the difference between a mechanical wave or a transverse 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.
Is it true transverse and congressional waves are the two types of mechanical waves?
No. The 2 types of mechanical waves are transverse waves & longitudinal waves
