Light wave an sample of mechanical wave?
Light waves are not considered mechanical waves because they do not require a medium to propagate. Mechanical waves, on the other hand, require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through. Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum.
How is light different than mechanical waves in terms of their propagation and behavior?
Light waves and mechanical waves differ in their propagation and behavior. Light waves are electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum, while mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Light waves also travel at the speed of light, while mechanical waves travel at varying speeds depending on the medium. Additionally, light waves exhibit properties such as interference and diffraction, which are not typically seen in mechanical waves.
Are light waves considered to be mechanical in nature?
No, light waves are not considered to be mechanical in nature. They are a form of electromagnetic radiation that does not require a medium to travel through, unlike mechanical waves such as sound waves.
Which distinguishes electromagntic waves from mechanical waves?
Electro magnetic waves can pass through medium of free space ie vacuum but mechanical waves cannot do so. Mechanical waves such as sound definitely needs a material medium air, water etc. But light being electro magnetic could pass through even vacuum. Actually in between the sun and earth there is vacuum. Yet we receive light right from Sun towards earth.
What waves require a medium and what waves do not?
Mechanical waves require a medium (substance) to travel in, other waves do not. For example, sound is a mechanical wave and require a medium (air, water, etc.), light is not a mechanical wave and does not require a medium
What distinguishes waves from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium for their propagation whereas electromagnetic waves require a medium for their propagation.

Which of the following distinguishes electromagnetic from mechanical waves?
They don't require a medium to travel through. - apex ....what a wanker

Are visible light waves mechanical waves?
No. They're electromagnetic waves.
Light and sound waves have many similar properties however light waves are what while sound waves are what?
Light waves are eletromagnetic waves and sound waves are mechanical waves. Additionally, a light wave is a transverse wave that does not require a medium through which to travel. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves where the source transfers the mechanical energy of the sound wave into the medium so it can travel.
Why Sound waves are mechanical waves?
Sound waves are mechanical waves because they require a medium for their propagation .They are also called longitudinal mechanics because they vibrate in the direction of propagation of wave and and produces compression and vibrations like that of longitudinal waves
Is Light is an example of a mechanical 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.
How is a light wave different than any other wave?
ligt waves are different from other ways because they have charicteristics of particles and waves. It has never been proven that it is one or the other. Youngs double slit experiment shows us that light waves diffract and interfere.
