What else can I help you with?
Are all waves mechanical in nature?
No, not all waves are mechanical in nature. Mechanical waves are caused by the oscillation of particles in a medium, like sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean. However, electromagnetic waves, such as light or radio waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
How are electromagnetic waves different from all other waves, specifically mechanical waves?
Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through, unlike mechanical waves which do. Additionally, electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, while mechanical waves cannot.
Are all waves mechanical waves?
maybe? ----- No, you are forgetting about electromagnetic radiation such as a light, radio, x-rays, and so on that also have wave properties. Mechanical waves are able to travel through matter but electromagnetic waves can travel in a vacuum.
Do all waves including mechanical waves transfer energy?
Yes, all waves including mechanical waves transfer energy. In mechanical waves, energy is transferred through the motion of the medium, such as water or air. The amplitude and frequency of the wave affect the amount of energy being transferred.
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.

Is sound waves mechanical or waves?
Mechanical
What distinguishes a light wave from all other mechanical waves?
Light waves are electromagnetic waves that do not require a medium to travel through, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium such as air or water. This means that light waves can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, while mechanical waves cannot.
What kind of wave is an mechanical wave?
A mechanical wave requires a medium to transfer the energy it carries, unlike EMR waves. There are several types of mechanical waves, most of them being found in an earthquake. Mechanical waves are all longitudinal waves.
How em waves different from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
What is another name for mechanical waves?
Another name for mechanical waves is elastic waves.
Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
Examples of mechanical and electromagnetic waves?
Some examples of mechanical waves are Sound, waves in a slinky, and water. Mechanical waves need matter to move. Some examples of electromagnetic waves are Radio, Gamma, X-rays, Infra-red, and Microwaves Electromagnetic waves are able to travel through a medium of liquids, solids, and geaseous states, or through space where there is no material at all, called "vacuum".
