We know that mechanical waves require a medium through which to travel. An example of a mechanical wave is a sound (acoustic) wave. The wave transfers its energy into the medium so that it can propagate through it. In contrast, electromagnetic waves don't require a medium through which to travel. They move perfectly well through the vacuum of space.
A sound wave would be a good example of a wave needing a medium to travel.
Every kind of wave except an electromagnetic or gravitational wave.
Any mechanical one, such as sound, tsunami, earthquake, ocean, etc.
compression or longitudinal wave
Compression waves: sound, for instance.
Mechanical waves require a medium
Sound Wave
A mechanical wave such as a sound wave requires a medium to travel through.
the 'medium'
A Mechanical Wave is a wave that requires a medium through which to travel.
A wave of kinetic energy requires a medium to travel though.

They travel through a material medium.

the 'medium'
It requires a medium through which to travel
a mechanical wave that requires a medium through which to travel.
No, sound requires a medium to travel.No it must travel through matter
Electromagnetic Waves can travel through space without any material medium.
A Mechanical Wave is a wave that requires a medium through which to travel.
since the sound requires a medium to travel through. so the air is one of the medium for sound to travel. Therefore sound can travel through air.
A wave of kinetic energy requires a medium to travel though.
