Mechanical waves require a medium to travel through. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves, water waves, a vibrating string. (See related link).
Electromagnetic waves (such as light, radio waves, X-rays, microwaves) do not need a medium to travel through, so these are not mechanical waves.
Certain phenomena in quantum mechanics exhibit wavelike behavior, and also does not require any medium to travel.
An example of a wave that is not a mechanical wave is a light wave. A mechanical wave is a wave that needs a medium to travel through. Light can travel in space, where there is no medium (no air)
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic wave.
A mechanical wave is a wave that uses a medium to travel. Without a medium, it would not be able to go anywhere.
sound wave is a longitudinal wave
No. Sound is a mechanical wave, not an EM wave.
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
It is a type of mechanical wave known as a seismic wave.
Sound propagates through a longitudinal wave, a type of mechanical wave.
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic wave.
A mechanical wave is a wave that uses a medium to travel. Without a medium, it would not be able to go anywhere.
sound wave is a longitudinal wave
No. Sound is a mechanical wave, not an EM wave.
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.

Type your answer here... sound
A mechanical wave (e.g. sound).
A pulse is a short wave. It can be any type of wave.
Longitudinal and transverse are both
