i dont know realy just fail it im telling you the truth even though you dont want to know the truth sorry if its like 1 question you dont get out of 20 then whatever no porb sorry ily jk i dont know u lmao :)

Somebody else wrote that, and WHOEVER it was, obviously shouldn't have ANSWERED it.

Just a tip: If you see a question, and you DON'T know the answer, wait for someone else to answer it so you don't look like an idiot on the internet.

Now, on to the question at hand.

Mechanical waves always require a medium, which are the actual material (or matter) that the wave travels through. Mechanical waves are made when particles of matter vibrate back and forth. Examples of Mechanical waves are ocean waves, sound waves, or even when you're in a stadium and and everyone moves their arms to make a theoretical "wave." Waves themselves are actually just a disturbance that transmits energy from place. There are two types of waves, Mechanical, and Electromagnetic. (FYI electromagnetic waves do NOT require a medium)

I also know a whole lot about the anatomy of a wave, but I'll just wait for someone else to ask that question...

What are all mechanical waves?

Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium to travel through, such as water waves, sound waves in air, and seismic waves in the Earth's crust. These waves transfer energy through the oscillation of particles in the medium.


Most waves that travel through a substance are what kind of waves?

Most waves that travel through a substance are mechanical waves. These waves require a medium (such as water, air, or solids) to propagate. Sound waves, seismic waves, and ocean waves are examples of mechanical waves.
