Is light an example of mechanical wave?

No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.


Mechanical waves require what?

Mechanical waves require media through which they can travel.


How mechanical and electromagnetic wave are different?

The biggest difference is that mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and electromagnetic waves do not.


What waves does mechanical travel through?

A mechanical wave can travel through a medium with mass and elasticity. Examples are air and water (sound waves), earth (earthquakes).


What media can mechanical waves travel through?

Mechanical waves can travel through mediums such as solid, liquid, and gas. They cannot travel through a vacuum because they require a physical medium for propagation.


Can mechanical waves travel through any type of medium?

Yes, mechanical waves can travel through any medium that has particles that can interact and transfer the wave energy. Examples of mediums that mechanical waves can travel through include solids, liquids, and gases.


What can travel only through a medium?

What does mechanical wave needs to travel?

Mechanical waves need a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids. These waves propagate by transferring energy from one particle to another within the medium. Without a medium, mechanical waves cannot travel.


What needs a medium substance to travel through?

Mechanical waves need a medium substance to travel through. Electromagnetic do not.
