What do waves carry as they move?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
What are all mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium to travel through, such as water waves, sound waves in air, and seismic waves in the Earth's crust. These waves transfer energy through the oscillation of particles in the medium.
Can both electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves move throgh space?
Yes, but mechanical waves need matter to travel through. EM waves can travel through vacuums as well.
List and define the two types of mechanical waves.?
The two types of mechanical waves are transverse waves and longitudinal waves. In transverse waves, particles in the medium move perpendicularly to the direction of the wave's propagation. In longitudinal waves, particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.
Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
Are Sound waves longitudinal mechanical compression waves?
Yes, sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves that result from the compression and rarefaction of molecules in a medium as energy is transmitted through it. These waves move by causing particles in the medium to move in the same direction as the wave itself.
What are wave classification?
Mechanical waves are produced when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate. Mechanical waves are classified by how they move. There are two types of mechanical waves: transverse waves and longitudinal waves. Transverse means "across." Longitude means "horizontal". Transverse waves move the particles of the medium perpendicular to the direction in which the waves are traveling. Longitudinal waves move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling. by how they move
Ocean waves are what kind of wave type?
Ocean waves are mechanical waves. The waves on the surface are surface waves (particles move in a circular motion) while the waves in the depths are longitudinal (particles move parallel to the wave propogation).
Mechainical waves are classifed according to?
A mechanical wave is classified according to how they move.
What are the four different types of waves?
The four different types of waves are transverse waves, longitudinal waves, surface waves, and mechanical waves. Transverse waves cause particles in the medium to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while longitudinal waves cause particles to move parallel to the direction of the wave. Surface waves combine aspects of both transverse and longitudinal waves, while mechanical waves require a medium to propagate.
Examples of mechanical and electromagnetic waves?
Some examples of mechanical waves are Sound, waves in a slinky, and water. Mechanical waves need matter to move. Some examples of electromagnetic waves are Radio, Gamma, X-rays, Infra-red, and Microwaves Electromagnetic waves are able to travel through a medium of liquids, solids, and geaseous states, or through space where there is no material at all, called "vacuum".
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
