What do Mechanical waves must travel through?
Mechanical waves may travel through any medium except vacuum.
Why must there be a medium for sound to exist?
Sound is a mechanical wave, and mechanical waves need something to travel through.
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
Difference between electromagnetic and mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves must use matter as a medium, they displace the matter in space. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves (must go through gas (air) which is matter), ocean waves (must go through liquid (water) which is matter, and earthquakes (must go through solid (earth) which is matter.Electromagnetic waves do not need matter as a medium and are made of electromagnetic radiation, they cause fluctuations in the magnetic and electric fields that permeate space-time. Examples of electromagnetic waves are radio waves, microwaves, x-rays, and gamma rays (all are part of the electromagnetic spectrum or EMS).
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 sounds wave transmitted?
Sound is mechanical energy. It's a vibration or oscillation, and it is transmitted as a wave of pressure and displacement. Like all mechanical waves, sound requires a medium through which to travel, and the source transfers mechanical energy into the medium. Solids and fluids (liquids or gasses) serve as mediums for the transmission of sound waves.
What do Mechanical waves must travel through?
Mechanical waves may travel through any medium except vacuum.
What should be the position of the antenna with respect to the direction of the transmitted radio waves?
A dish antenna must face the arriving waves.
What should be the position of the antenna with respect to direction of the transmitted radio waves?
A dish antenna must face the arriving waves.
What is transferred through a medium?
Disturbances that transfer energy, or waves. Mechanical waves must have a medium to travel.
What type of wave requires no medium to travel through?
Waves need not require medium to travel through. Only Mechanical waves like sound waves require medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel in vaccum like light waves. Some waves transmitted in a medium due to disturbances in the medium .
Why must there be a medium for sound to exist?
Sound is a mechanical wave, and mechanical waves need something to travel through.
Is sound waves mechanical or waves?
Mechanical
What kind of waves by definition must have a physical medium through which to travel?
Mechanical
Can a wave move through a substance called a medium?
When a wave passes through a substance, it gets transmitted through it. The speed of the wave changes depending on the nature of the substance.
How em waves different from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
Which earths layer are S waves not transmitted?
S-waves are not transmitted through the outer core.
