Mechanical waves are produced when some kind of energy moves a substance, a material, or a "thing" within a medium that will conduct the mechanical energy of motion away from the source. And example of this would be a speaker, which takes an electrical signal and moves some kind of diaphragm with it. The diaphragm will move air or another fluid around it, and the sound waves will radiate from the device. If used in the vacuum of space, a speaker would be ineffective at transferring sound (mechanical) energy.

What medium do mechanical waves need?
sound is produced by vibrating a source threw air. +======================= Answer 2: For mechanical waves to traverse we need an elastic medium.
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
What is non mechanical wave?
Non mechanical waves are Eletro magnetic waves. We can devide 2 waves. 1 is mechanical waves & 2 is electromagnetic waves. For example Sound is a mechanical wave & Light is an electromagnetic wave.
Is it true transverse and congressional waves are the two types of mechanical waves?
No. The 2 types of mechanical waves are transverse waves & longitudinal waves
What are all mechanical waves?
There are two types of waves, mechanical and non-mechanical waves. A mechanical wave needs some sort of medium, like an earthquake to move the water.

If an astronaut uses a wrench on the space station and outside it will sound be produced at all?
no a sound will not be produced because sound waves cannot travel through empty space they are mechanical waves
What is difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?
Mechanical Waves:1.Mechanical waves need a material medium for their propagation.2.These waves are produced due to the vibrations of the particles of the medium.3.They have low speed.Electromagnetic Waves:1.Electromagnetic waves do not need any material medium for their propagation.2.They are caused due to change in electric and magnetic fields.3.They have high speed.
Is sound waves mechanical or waves?
Mechanical
How em waves different from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
What is non mechanical wave?
Non mechanical waves are Eletro magnetic waves. We can devide 2 waves. 1 is mechanical waves & 2 is electromagnetic waves. For example Sound is a mechanical wave & Light is an electromagnetic wave.
How are em waves different from mechanical waves?
mechanical waves need a medium to travel through, electromagnetic waves do not. Electromagnetic waves can travel through space, mechanical waves can not.:PElectromagnetic waves do not require a medium, but mechanical waves do.
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
