A mechanical wave requires a medium to transfer the energy it carries, unlike EMR waves.
There are several types of mechanical waves, most of them being found in an earthquake.
Mechanical waves are all longitudinal waves.

What is the distance of a wave measured by?
The answer depends on what kind of wave it is: a mechanical wave, or an electromagnetic wave with a long or short wavelength.
What kind of motion produces a transverse wave when using a coiled spring?
mechanical 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.
Sound travels in what kind of wave?
Sound is a longitudinal, mechanical wave that requires a medium.
What kind of waves are made with a rope?
a mechanical wave.
Which kind of wave does not require a medium?
Mechanical waves
What is the distance of a wave measured by?
The answer depends on what kind of wave it is: a mechanical wave, or an electromagnetic wave with a long or short wavelength.
What kind of motion produces a transverse wave when using a coiled spring?
mechanical wave
Is a tidal wave a mechanical wave?
A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.
What kind of waves are sound and light?
Sound is a mechanical wave.Light is an electromagnetic wave.
What kind of wave carries energy?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
Was the Kashmir earthquake caused by a mechanical wave or electromagnetic wave?
A mechanical wave.
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.
