What else can I help you with?
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 do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
Are Electromagnetic waves and transverse waves two types of mechanical waves?
No, electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves; they do not require a medium to travel through. Transverse waves are a type of mechanical wave that require a medium for propagation; examples include waves on a string or water waves.
Which of the following is not a mechanical wave' a transverse a longitudinal or a electromagnetic?
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.
What is one major difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?
One major difference is the medium of propagation. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium (can travel through vacuum) while mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solid material) in order to propagate.
Mechanical waves require what?
Mechanical waves require media through which they can travel.
What distinguishes waves from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium for their propagation whereas electromagnetic waves require a medium for their propagation.
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 do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
How em waves different from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does 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.
Are Electromagnetic waves and transverse waves two types of mechanical waves?
No, electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves; they do not require a medium to travel through. Transverse waves are a type of mechanical wave that require a medium for propagation; examples include waves on a string or water waves.
Which of the following is not a mechanical wave' a transverse a longitudinal or a electromagnetic?
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.
HOW are EM wave different from mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
How are em waves different from mechanical waves?
mechanical waves need a medium to travel through, electromagnetic waves do not. Electromagnetic waves can travel through space, mechanical waves can not.:PElectromagnetic waves do not require a medium, but mechanical waves do.
What is one major difference between electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?
One major difference is the medium of propagation. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium (can travel through vacuum) while mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solid material) in order to propagate.
What is another word for waves that require a medium is called?
mechanical waves
