What is a mechanical wave and a medium?
A mechanical wave is a wave the transfers energy through a medium If anyone know what a mechanical waves medium is add an answer to this question
is An electromagnetic wave is a mechanical wave/true or false?
True, because mechanical waves require a medium for propagation.
Which of the following is not a mechanical wave' a transverse a longitudinal or a electromagnetic?
An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave.
Is a mechanical wave a transverse wave?
A mechanical wave is any wave pattern that results from one or many forces. A mechanical wave can be a transverse wave, such as seen on a violin string, or a longditudinal wave, such as sound waves.
Is an ultrasound wave mechanical vibrating energy?

Are transverse and congressional waves a type of mechanical wave?
A transverse wave may, or may not, be a mechanical wave (electromagnetic waves are also transverse).I don't know about congressional waves; you may want to ask a representative of congress in your country.
Is An electromagnetic wave is a mechanical wave?
No.
