Sound waves are mechanical waves because they require a medium for their propagation .They are also called longitudinal mechanics because they vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave and and produces compression and vibrations like that of longitudinal waves

Sound waves are waves.?
sounds waves are longitudinal and mechanical waves
Why do sound wave require a medium to travel?
Sound waves are mechanical waves and all mechanical waves require a material medium for its propagation unlike electromagnectic waves
Is a sound wave a electromagnetic wave in nature?
No. Sound waves are mechanical waves.
What is an example of an mechanical wave?
sound
Are sound waves longitudinal mechanical and compression waves?
yes
Is sound waves mechanical or waves?
Mechanical
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
Why are sound waves not considered a mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in which to travel, i.e., a solid or fluid. As sound needs a medium to travel, sound is a mechanical wave.
Sound waves are waves.?
sounds waves are longitudinal and mechanical waves
Are sound waves examples of mechanical waves?
Yes it is.
Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
Is a sound wave a electromagnetic wave in nature?
No. Sound waves are mechanical waves.
Why do sound wave require a medium to travel?
Sound waves are mechanical waves and all mechanical waves require a material medium for its propagation unlike electromagnectic waves
How are sound waves and seismic waves alike?
they're mechanical waves
Do mechanical waves have sound?
yes
What waves are mechanical?
Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.
What are sound waves called?
Sound waves are called mechanical waves cause they need a material medium for their flow. Not only are they mechanical, but compression & lonqitudinal. -Apex:)
