Mechanical waves: they are waves that propagates by the vibration of particles of the medium(Solid,Liquid,Gas), so it needs medium to propagate.It may be transverse waves or longitudinal waves.

Mechanical waves require a medium for transmission?
Yes, that's the definition of "mechanical". Electromagnetic waves do not.
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
What is non mechanical wave?
Non mechanical waves are Eletro magnetic waves. We can devide 2 waves. 1 is mechanical waves & 2 is electromagnetic waves. For example Sound is a mechanical wave & Light is an electromagnetic wave.
Is it true transverse and congressional waves are the two types of mechanical waves?
No. The 2 types of mechanical waves are transverse waves & longitudinal waves
What are all mechanical waves?
There are two types of waves, mechanical and non-mechanical waves. A mechanical wave needs some sort of medium, like an earthquake to move the water.

What is the definition of mechanical wave?

What kind of waves by definition must have a physical medium through which to travel?
Mechanical
Is sound waves mechanical or waves?
Mechanical
Does a longitudinal wave need a medium?
It is not so much longitudinal vs. transverse - it is the type of wave. Mechanical waves, by definition, travel through matter. That includes sound waves. Mechanical waves, however, can be both longitudinal and transverse - and both require a medium.
How em waves different from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
What is non mechanical wave?
Non mechanical waves are Eletro magnetic waves. We can devide 2 waves. 1 is mechanical waves & 2 is electromagnetic waves. For example Sound is a mechanical wave & Light is an electromagnetic wave.
How are em waves different from mechanical waves?
mechanical waves need a medium to travel through, electromagnetic waves do not. Electromagnetic waves can travel through space, mechanical waves can not.:PElectromagnetic waves do not require a medium, but mechanical waves do.
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
Is it true transverse and congressional waves are the two types of mechanical waves?
No. The 2 types of mechanical waves are transverse waves & longitudinal waves
