Mechanical Waves
Mechanical Waves
A mechanical wave is formed when a source of energy causes particles in a medium to vibrate. Energy is transferred through the medium by the movement of the particles. Examples include sound waves and seismic waves.
Particles of the carrier medium to vibrate.
Mechanical waves form when a disturbance or energy source causes particles of a medium to vibrate or oscillate. This disturbance is then propagated through the medium as a wave, transferring energy without permanently displacing the particles themselves. These waves can be transverse, like light waves, or longitudinal, like sound waves.
A transverse wave is a wave in which the medium vibrates at right angles to the direction of its propagation.There is no one unique source of energy that will produce a wave with this property.

vibrate or oscillate. This vibration is then transferred through the medium, causing particles in the medium to also vibrate. This transfer of energy produces the mechanical wave.

Particles of the carrier medium to vibrate.
Heat energy from the source causes the particles to oscillate (vibrate) this chains and causes neighbouring particles to vibrate.
When sound is produced, there is a conversion of mechanical energy from the source (such as vocal cords vibrating or an instrument being played) into sound energy in the form of pressure waves in the air. This process involves the transfer of kinetic energy between the particles in the medium through which the sound travels.

Mechanical waves are produced when some kind of energy moves a substance, a material, or a "thing" within a medium that will conduct the mechanical energy of motion away from the source. And example of this would be a speaker, which takes an electrical signal and moves some kind of diaphragm with it. The diaphragm will move air or another fluid around it, and the sound waves will radiate from the device. If used in the vacuum of space, a speaker would be ineffective at transferring sound (mechanical) energy.
