Why does there have to be a medium for waves to travel through?
There does not have to be a medium. Light does not require a medium. Mechanical waves require a mediumAnswer 2:Not all waves require a medium for their transmission. Mechanical waves require a medium for their transmission because it is the molecules of the medium which cause the wave to propagate. However, electromagnetic waves do NOT require a medium. (for example light)

What Features do longitudinal waves have common with transverse waves?
both types of waves when passes through a medium the particles of the medium starts to vibrate they require a medium for their propagation energy is transferred from one place to another both r types of mechanical waves in both types of waves the particles oscillate about their mean position
