Does mechanical waves travel faster through vacuum than through air?
Mechanical waves are waves that need medium to propagate so they don`t travel through vacuum but through solid , liquid or gas.
What waves need a medium to travel in?
Mechanical waves need a medium to travel in
What do Mechanical waves must travel through?
Mechanical waves may travel through any medium except vacuum.
Is mechanical waves can travel though empty space true or false?
No, mechanical or pressure waves can not travel through empty space
Where do mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves travel fastest?
Mechanical waves travel fastest in mechanically-most-dense media. Electromagnetic waves travel fastest in optically-least-dense media.
Does mechanical waves travel faster through vacuum than through air?
Mechanical waves are waves that need medium to propagate so they don`t travel through vacuum but through solid , liquid or gas.
Do mechanical waves travel faster in solids or liquids?
Mechanical waves involve the physical transfer of vibration from one particle to another within the medium. Denser materials (solids and liquids), have closer particles so this transfer of energy occurs more quickly. :)
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.
Do waves travel faster than S waves?
no p waves travel faster than s 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.
Mechanical waves require what?
Mechanical waves require media through which they can travel.
What waves need a medium to travel in?
Mechanical waves need a medium to travel in
What do Mechanical waves must travel through?
Mechanical waves may travel through any medium except vacuum.
Due mechanical waves need a medium to travel through?
Yes, mechanical waves do need a medium in order to travel. Other waves, such as light, do not (thus they can travel through space).
Is mechanical waves can travel though empty space true or false?
No, mechanical or pressure waves can not travel through empty space
Where do mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves travel fastest?
Mechanical waves travel fastest in mechanically-most-dense media. Electromagnetic waves travel fastest in optically-least-dense media.
What is one major difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium to travel, where electromagnetic waves do not.
