If the wave requires a medium then it is a mechanical wave.
A mechanical wave requires a medium.
A mechanical wave such as a sound wave requires a medium to travel through.
If medium is of material then wave is said to be mechanical wave. If medium is non material such as free space, then wave is named as electromagnetic wave.

it is sound that requires a medium to travel .. light is an electromagnetic wave ..it doesn't require a medium..
Sound is a longitudinal, mechanical wave that requires a medium.
A Sound wave, water wave, earth quake wave. Electromagnetic waves (radio, light, etc.) do not require a medium for propagation.
A mechanical wave requires a medium to pass through. There are transverse waves which do require a medium for their transmission. For example, water waves.
It requires a medium through which to travel
A standing wave requires a relative motion of the medium at the same velocity of the wave
simple it requires a medium, for instance a solid ,liquid, or, gas
a mechanical wave that requires a medium through which to travel.
A mechanical wave (like a sound wave) requires a medium for propagation because the medium must carry the energy of the wave. With a mechanical wave, the source puts the energy into the medium, and the medium transports it. In contrast, and electromagnetic wave (like light) can travel in a vacuum; it needs no medium to support its propagation. To keep it simple there has to be energy that's all
A wave of kinetic energy requires a medium to travel though.
The travelling of light and sound are two contrasting things.The sound wave being a longitudinal mechanical wave requires a medium and makes use of the inertia and elasticity of the medium in order to progress.Whereas a light wave being an electromagnetic wave requires no medium to travel and propogates by means of changing electric and magnetic fields.
A mechanical wave is one that travels through a medium. It requires the medium for propagation, as the mechanical energy is put into the medium, and the medium carries it. Sound is a form of mechanical energy. In contrast, light is a form of electromagnetic energy, and it can travel through a vacuum, unlike a mechanical wave.mechanical wave.
Sound is a longitudinal wave and a light wave is a transverse wave. Sound requires a medium to travel through but light can propagate without any medium.
there are no waves that can travel without a medium, that why waves don't exsist in space.
Sound is a mechanical wave. Therfore, it requires a medium.
We know that a mechanical wave requires a medium through which to travel. The source puts the energy into the medium, and it propagates. A sound wave is a good example of this, and we can contrast it with an electromagnetic wave (like light). Light can travel through a vacuum; it doesn't require a medium for its propagation.
