Mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) for propagation because they rely on the vibration of particles in the medium to transmit energy. Electromagnetic waves, like light waves and radio waves, do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through a vacuum.
Mechanical waves require a medium in order to travel. These waves propagate by transferring energy through a medium by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. Some examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, such as solid, liquid, or gas. These waves transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to vibrate back and forth in the direction of wave propagation.
soundbut theres probably others
In constructive interference, two waves moving through the same medium must be in phase, meaning their peaks and troughs align. This results in the waves reinforcing each other, creating a wave with greater amplitude.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can transfer energy through a vacuum without the need for a medium. This is because electromagnetic waves are made up of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that can propagate through empty space.
Disturbances that transfer energy, or waves. Mechanical waves must have a medium to travel.

Medium is of two type One is material medium and other one is non-material Material medium are air medium, water medium etc Non-material medium is vacuum or free space If material medium is essential for the propagation of the wave then that wave is named as mechanical wave. Example: sound waves If such a material medium is not a must then the wave is said to be Electro magentic wave. Example: Light waves.

NoAnother PerspectiveAll waves require a medium. The medium is what restricts the waves propagation speed. If there were no medium, there would be no limit to the speed with which a wave could travel. The medium of radio waves, or electromagnetic (EM) waves, is space. There have to be more properties of space than I can imagine, but in relation to EM waves, I can think of at least two; elasticity and density. The elasticity of space must be excessive in order to allow waves of extremely short length to propagate with equal fidelity as waves with extremely long lengths. The density of space must be excessive as well, in order for EM waves to be able to travel the distances they do with any representation of the original source.
Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
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
