Mechanical waves require a medium for their propagation whereas electromagnetic waves require a medium for their propagation.
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.
They don't require a medium to travel through. - apex ....what a wanker
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
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.
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
Mechanical
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
Another name for mechanical waves is elastic waves.
Seismic waves are 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 a example of 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.
