Mechanical waves require a medium for their propagation whereas electromagnetic waves require a medium for their propagation.
What else can I help you with?
What distinguishes a light wave from all other mechanical waves?
Light waves are electromagnetic waves that do not require a medium to travel through, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium such as air or water. This means that light waves can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, while mechanical waves cannot.
Which of the following distinguishes electromagnetic from mechanical waves?
They don't require a medium to travel through. - apex ....what a wanker
Why Sound waves are mechanical waves?
Sound waves are mechanical waves because they require a medium for their propagation .They are also called longitudinal mechanics because they vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave and and produces compression and vibrations like that of longitudinal waves
Which distinguishes electromagntic waves from mechanical waves?
Electro magnetic waves can pass through medium of free space ie vacuum but mechanical waves cannot do so. Mechanical waves such as sound definitely needs a material medium air, water etc. But light being electro magnetic could pass through even vacuum. Actually in between the sun and earth there is vacuum. Yet we receive light right from Sun towards earth.
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
Is sound waves mechanical or waves?
Mechanical
How em waves different from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
What is another name for mechanical waves?
Another name for mechanical waves is elastic waves.
Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are 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.
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
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.
