Motion. Physics. Electromagnetic force; gravitational force. eh?
Firelight is an electromagnetic wave. It consists of a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that includes visible light.
An example of mechanical energy converting to electromagnetic energy is when a generator converts the kinetic energy from a spinning turbine (mechanical energy) into electrical energy (electromagnetic energy) through electromagnetic induction.
Electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves, as they do not require a medium (such as air or water) to propagate. Transverse and longitudinal waves, on the other hand, are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through.
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.
The main difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves is how they travel. Mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.

Mechanical.
Electromagnetic waves, if it was mechanical, something would literally have to make them!
An example of mechanical energy converting to electromagnetic energy is when a generator converts the kinetic energy from a spinning turbine (mechanical energy) into electrical energy (electromagnetic energy) through electromagnetic induction.
The biggest difference is that mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and electromagnetic waves do not.
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
