Yes. Wood bobs up and down in waves of water, and is pushed along to pile up against shore lines.
A mechanical wave can transfer energy by vibrating particles of matter. Mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through, and they transmit energy through the periodic motion of particles in the medium. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
False. Mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solid material) to propagate. They transmit energy through the vibration of particles in the medium. Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.
Waves that transmit energy are called mechanical waves. These waves require a medium to travel through, such as water or air, and they transfer energy as they propagate. Examples include water waves, sound waves, seismic waves, and waves along a rope.
False. Radio waves and sound waves are different types of waves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that transmit signals through the air, while sound waves are mechanical waves that transmit vibrations through a medium such as air, water, or solid objects.

Mechanical waves need some kind of material to transmit through. They involve the shaking and passing of energy through matter. Electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to travel through. Outer space is considered a vaccuum, there is no matter to shake back and forth to create a wave. This is why electromagnetic waves can travel through solids, liquids, and why they travel faster.
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and seismic waves, require a medium to propagate because they rely on the vibration of particles in the medium to transfer energy. These waves cannot travel through a vacuum because there are no particles to transmit the mechanical energy.
Mechanical waves can't pass through a vacuum. Mechanical waves need something to pass through. Space is generally considered a vacuum, with nothing in it to transmit a mechanical wave.
Mechanical waves carry energy through matter. These waves require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to travel. Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
Mechanical waves travel by pushing and pulling on the matter they travel through. Sound waves and seismic waves are examples of mechanical waves.
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to propagate and transfer energy. These waves rely on the interaction of particles in the medium to transmit the disturbance from one point to another.
The three different types of waves are mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves, and matter waves.
