Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
What else can I help you with?
HOW are EM wave different from mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
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.
Is a EM wave a sound wave?
No, electromagnetic (EM) waves are different from sound waves. EM waves are vibrations of electric and magnetic fields that do not need a medium to travel through, while sound waves are mechanical vibrations that require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.
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.
Why in infrared rays and ultraviolet rays are not visible to us what is the main point of difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?
The difference is in the different waves' frequency - therefore, the wavelength is also different. Our eyes are adapted to seeing specific frequencies; we can't see, or detect, just any type of EM wave. Mechanical waves are unrelated to EM waves, except that both are waves, and therefore share certain characteristics (having phenomena such as interference, polarization, etc.)
How are radio waves different from other waves on the EM spectrum?
They have different wavelength.
What are the three different types of waves?
The three different types of waves are mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves, and matter waves.
How is a electromagnetic wave different from a EM waves?
They're the same. EM stands for electromagnetic.
How are electromagnetic wave and mechanical waves different?
The biggest difference is that mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and electromagnetic waves do not.
How are electromagnetic waves different from all other waves, specifically mechanical waves?
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through, unlike mechanical waves which do. Additionally, electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, while mechanical waves cannot.
Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
How mechanical and electromagnetic wave are different?
The biggest difference is that mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and electromagnetic waves do not.
