Mechanical waves require media through which they can travel.
What else can I help you with?
What distinguishes waves from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium for their propagation whereas electromagnetic waves require a medium for their propagation.
What waves require a medium and what waves do not?
Mechanical waves require a medium (substance) to travel in, other waves do not. For example, sound is a mechanical wave and require a medium (air, water, etc.), light is not a mechanical wave and does not require a medium
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
How em waves different from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
What do Mechanical wave's require?
Mechanical waves require a medium to propagate through, such as a solid, liquid, or gas, as they transfer energy through the vibration of particles in the medium. Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
Why are sound waves not considered a mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in which to travel, i.e., a solid or fluid. As sound needs a medium to travel, sound is a mechanical wave.
Are Electromagnetic waves and transverse waves two types of mechanical waves?
No, electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves; they do not require a medium to travel through. Transverse waves are a type of mechanical wave that require a medium for propagation; examples include waves on a string or water waves.
Which of the following is not a mechanical wave' a transverse a longitudinal or a electromagnetic?
Electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves, as they do not require a medium (such as air or water) to propagate. Transverse and longitudinal waves, on the other hand, are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through.
HOW are EM wave different from mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
What is another word for waves that require a medium is called?
mechanical waves
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.
What is one major difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?
One major difference is the medium of propagation. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium (can travel through vacuum) while mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solid material) in order to propagate.
