Is an ultrasound wave a mechanical wave or an elastic wave or both?

∙ 16y ago
An ultrasound wave (or any other sound wave) is mechanical energy, and can be said to be a mechanical wave. Waves are not elastic. The term elastic may be applied to the medium through which they travel. There are compression and shear forces (among others) that work on the medium, and the medium may present a more or less elastic response.

Is an ultrasound wave mechanical vibrating energy?
ultrasound wave is a wave due to mechanical vibration,
A type of mechanical wave motion in an elastic medium is?
Type your answer here... sound
Which is a type of mechanical wave?
Longitudinal and transverse are both
What is true for both transverse and longitudinal wave?
Both Carry Energy, Both are Mechanical waves, Both carry Matter
is An electromagnetic wave is a mechanical wave/true or false?
True, because mechanical waves require a medium for propagation.

What is a similarity between infrasound and ultrasound?
"Sound" is a mechanical wave traveling through a medium. Ultrasound is sound, but its frequency is higher than humans can hear.
what is a type of mechanical wave motion in an elastic medium is?
Sound. Heat, light, radar & x-rays are electromagnetic.
Which is a type of mechanical wave?
Longitudinal and transverse are both
Is a tidal wave a mechanical wave?
A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.
Was the Kashmir earthquake caused by a mechanical wave or electromagnetic wave?
A mechanical wave.
What is true for both transverse and longitudinal wave?
Both Carry Energy, Both are Mechanical waves, Both carry Matter
Is an ocean wave mechanical wave?
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
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.
