What does mechanical wave needs to travel?
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.
A wave that can travel only through matter?
A wave that can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.
Can mechanical waves travel through vacuum?
Mechanical waves (like sound) require things to bang into each other, or at least push each other around, to continue to be a wave propagation. In space, there isn't enough stuff close enough together to carry a wave in that form. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, umm... are a different theory.
What form of energy needs a medium to travel?
Mechanical energy, such as sound waves, requires a medium (like air, water, or solid materials) to travel through. Without a medium, mechanical energy cannot propagate.
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)
What can sounds not travel through?
Since sound is a mechanical wave (it needs a substance to travel through) it cannot travel through a vacuum.
What needs a medium substance to travel through?
Mechanical waves need a medium substance to travel through. Electromagnetic do not.
Why are sound waves not considered a mechanical wave?
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.

What is mechaincal energy?
The form of energy that needs a medium to travel is known as mechanical energy.For example sound needs a medium to travel,that's why sound can't travel in vacuum,light needs no medium to travel it is non mechanical form of energy.
What form of energy needs a medium to travel?
Mechanical energy, such as sound waves, requires a medium (like air, water, or solid materials) to travel through. Without a medium, mechanical energy cannot propagate.
What does sound need to travel through?
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot 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)
Where can sounds not travel?
Sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound is mechanical energy, and it travels by the transfer of mechanical energy through the medium through which it is traveling. If there is nothing to transfer the mechanical energy, like there is nothing in a vacuum, sound cannot travel there.
Why can light travel through space from the sun to the earth but sound cannot travel through space?
Light can travel through space because it is made up of electromagnetic waves that do not require a medium to propagate. Sound, on the other hand, is a mechanical wave that needs a medium, such as air, water, or a solid, to travel through. Since space is a vacuum with no medium, sound cannot travel through it.
