What type of s mechanical wave is a sound wave?

A sound wave is a longitudinal mechanical wave, meaning the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This distinguishes it from a transverse wave, where the particles move perpendicular to the wave propagation.


Is a tidal wave a mechanical wave?

Is a radio wave a example of a mechanical wave?

No, a radio wave is not an example of a mechanical wave. A mechanical wave requires a medium to travel through, such as water or air, while a radio wave can travel through a vacuum because it is an electromagnetic wave.


A mechanical wave genrally does NOT?

What is the name of the mechanical wave that sound propagates with?

Sound propagates through a longitudinal wave, a type of mechanical wave.


Is a transverse wave a mechanical wave?

Yes, a transverse wave is a type of mechanical wave. Transverse waves require a medium to propagate, meaning they rely on the vibration of particles in a substance (solid, liquid, or gas) to transmit energy. Examples of transverse waves include light waves and electromagnetic waves.


Is a mechanical wave a sound wave?

Yes, a sound wave is a mechanical wave. Sound waves need a medium (like air) to travel through. The energy of the wave, the mechanical energy, is transferred into the medium through which it is propagated.


What type of wave is not an electromagnetic wave?

A mechanical wave is not an electromagnetic wave.


Is a longitudinal wave a mechanical wave?

yes, it is. But mechanical waves can be as well as non longitudinal!
