An ocean wave is considered to be a mechanical wave, as it requires a medium (water) to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
No, eletromagnetic waves propagate in two planes (eletro-magnetic) and can propagate in a vacuum. Water waves, on the other hand, are dependant on matter to transfer energy, making it a mechanical wave, not an eletromagnetic one.
The opposite of a mechanical wave is an electromagnetic wave. While mechanical waves require a medium to travel through (such as sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean), electromagnetic waves can propagate through a vacuum without the need for a medium.
Firelight is an electromagnetic wave. It consists of a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that includes visible light.
Examples of mechanical waves are waves in the ocean and sound waves from devices like mouths, trombones, and radios. Electromagnetic waves like sunshine and X-rays are not mechanical waves because matter is not doing the waving.
No, light is not an example of a mechanical wave. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which does not require a medium to propagate, unlike mechanical waves like sound waves which do require a medium.

Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
No, light is not an example of a mechanical wave. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which does not require a medium to propagate, unlike mechanical waves like sound waves which do require a medium.
An electromagnetic wave does not require a medium to travel through, whereas a mechanical wave does. This property is known as the ability of an electromagnetic wave to propagate through a vacuum.
Pulse can refer to both mechanical and electromagnetic phenomena. In a mechanical sense, a pulse is a wave of pressure or vibration traveling through a medium. In an electromagnetic sense, a pulse is a transient signal or wave of electromagnetic energy.
No. A light wave is a transverse electromagnetic wave.
