Want this question answered?
An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave.
mechanical
True, because mechanical waves require a medium for propagation.
Examples of mechanical waves are waves in the ocean and sound waves from devices like mouths, trombones, and radios. Electromagnetic waves like sunshine and X-rays are not mechanical waves because matter is not doing the waving.
No.

No.
No, eletromagnetic waves propagate in two planes (eletro-magnetic) and can propagate in a vacuum. Water waves, on the other hand, are dependant on matter to transfer energy, making it a mechanical wave, not an eletromagnetic one.
No, a gamma wave is not a mechanical wave. The gamma ray is considered an electromagnetic wave.
A mechanical wave.
Mechanical.
No, it's an electromagnetic wave.
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
No. A light wave is a transverse electromagnetic wave.
