What waves are mechanical?
Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.
Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
What is the passage of an EM wave through a medium?
when EM waves encounter a material medium, they can interact with it in much the same way that mechanical waves do. A mechanical wave transfer energy in two ways. As it travels, the wave moves potential energy from one place to another.
All of the following are incorrect statements of the wave-speed equation except for:?
c
Pitch describes how high or low a sound is. The pitch of a sound is most dependent upon the of the sound wave.?
frequency
Which of the following is not a mechanical wave' a transverse a longitudinal or a electromagnetic?
An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave.
Which property describes an electromagnetic wave and not a mechanical wave?
pie is 3.14
which following is not a characteristic of a transverse mechanical wave?
?
Which of the following describes light as a wave?
Light is a transverse wave
Which of the following best describes the type of wave under the arrow in this picture?
The waves of the ocean are created by wind transferring energy in to the water.
Which one of the following is not an example of a mechanical wave water wave earthquake wave sound wave or radio wave?
"Radio wave" is not like the others. "Radio wave" doesn't belong.
Is a tidal wave a mechanical wave?
A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.
What best describes wave?
vibration of particles in a medium
WHAT BEST DESCRIBES THE WAVE OF THE OCEAN?
surface waves
Was the Kashmir earthquake caused by a mechanical wave or electromagnetic wave?
A mechanical wave.
Is an ocean wave mechanical wave?
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
What best describes a wave on A plus?
vibration of particles in a medium
