radiation
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and seismic waves, disturb matter by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer energy from one point to another. These waves require a medium to propagate, as they rely on the physical interaction between particles to transfer energy.
A sound wave or an ocean wave, for example
Radiation is a form of heat transfer that does not require matter as a medium. Energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as from the sun to the Earth.
Sound.
A light wave transfers energy without requiring a medium for its propagation. Electromagnetic waves, including light, can travel through space because they consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that do not need a material medium to transfer energy.
Sound is a form of energy that is produced when objects vibrate and create compression waves through a medium like air. Sound energy can be heard and has the ability to travel through different mediums, but it is not considered matter itself.
All types of waves vibrate as they transport energy without transporting matter. Examples include light waves, sound waves, and water waves. The vibration of the waves determines their frequency and wavelength.
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and seismic waves, require a medium to propagate because they rely on the vibration of particles in the medium to transfer energy. These waves cannot travel through a vacuum because there are no particles to transmit the mechanical energy.
Sound is a compression wave. Waves are basically movements in the medium through which energy travels. Compression waves cause the medium to move parallel to the energy movement. Electromagnetic waves, although they do not require a medium, move parallel to the transfer of energy.
Sound vibrations are made of mechanical waves known as longitudinal waves. In these waves, the particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This vibration causes a transfer of energy that our ears perceive as sound.
