Yes, mechanical waves do need a medium in order to travel. Other waves, such as light, do not (thus they can travel through space).
They don't require a medium to travel through. - apex ....what a wanker
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium to travel through. These waves rely on the vibration of particles in the medium to carry energy from one place to another. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium.
electromagnetic waves are wave that do not require a material medium for their propagation while mechanical wave requires a material medium for example light wave is an electromagnetic wave it does not require any material medium(depends on air or water)for their propagation i.e even in the absence of air light will still travel... sound wave is a mechanical wave because sound do not travel in a vacuum....
Two types of waves are mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves. Mechanical waves require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space.
The biggest difference is that mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and electromagnetic waves do not.
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer the energy of the wave. Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
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.

Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
Mechanical waves need a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids. These waves propagate by transferring energy from one particle to another within the medium. Without a medium, mechanical waves cannot travel.
NO! Seismic waves can't travel through space. They are mechanical waves. Mechanical waves require going through mediums and there isn't a medium in space.
A medium which is air
mechanical waves
Mechanical waves require a medium (substance) to travel in, other waves do not. For example, sound is a mechanical wave and require a medium (air, water, etc.), light is not a mechanical wave and does not require a medium
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space or a medium while mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy.Apex- They don't require a medium to travel through.
Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, such as solid, liquid, or gas. These waves transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth in the direction of wave propagation.
