Are the sun rays mechanical wves or electoromagnetic waves?

Sun rays are electromagnetic waves, specifically in the visible light range. They travel in a wave form and do not require a medium to propagate, distinguishing them from mechanical waves like sound waves that do need a medium.


Examples of mechanical waves?

Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves, water waves, seismic waves, and waves on a string or spring. These waves require a medium (such as air, water, or a solid) to propagate energy through oscillations and vibrations.


Are all waves mechanical waves?

maybe? ----- No, you are forgetting about electromagnetic radiation such as a light, radio, x-rays, and so on that also have wave properties. Mechanical waves are able to travel through matter but electromagnetic waves can travel in a vacuum.


Do x ray is example of mechanical wave?

No, X-rays are a form of electromagnetic wave, not a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves require a medium (such as air or water) to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.


What type of wave is not a mechanical wave?

Mechanical waves require a medium to travel through. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves, water waves, a vibrating string. (See related link).Electromagnetic waves (such as light, radio waves, X-rays, microwaves) do not need a medium to travel through, so these are not mechanical waves.Certain phenomena in quantum mechanics exhibit wavelike behavior, and also does not require any medium to travel.An example of a wave that is not a mechanical wave is a light wave. A mechanical wave is a wave that needs a medium to travel through. Light can travel in space, where there is no medium (no air)
