Mechanical waves need a through which to transport energy?
A mechanical wave travels through matter.A mechanical wave travels through matter.A mechanical wave travels through matter.A mechanical wave travels through matter.
What wave travels through only matter?
Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.
Can you describe the similarities of wavelength amplitude frequency and speed of mechanical and electromagnetic waves?
There is absolutely no similarity between amplitude, frequency and the speed of mechanical and electromagnetic waves. All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed. It does not matter if they have a great big amplitude, a high frequency, or whatever. An ittsie bitty gamma ray travels at the same speed as a great big radio wave. A sound wave, loud or soft travels at the same speed. The way a mechanical wave travels depends on the material.
Which type of wave travels the fastest?
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
What is the speed of a wave dependent upon?
The medium in which it travels.
Sound travels in what kind of wave?
Sound is a longitudinal, mechanical wave that requires a medium.

What is a compressional wave?
Answer 1: A compressional wave is a wave that is close together and transverse waves are waves that are going the way the wave travels. Answer 2: Basically, it's a sound wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression. Scince it is a mechanical wave it must use a medium to travel though. A sound wave is a good example of a compressional wave. A compressional wave is a wave that travels back and forth, moving with compression.

What kind of wave travels only through a medium?
Mechanical waves, including sound waves.
What type of wave is the method of sound energy transfer?
Sound travels in mechanical longitudinal waves.
What makes sound speed?
Sound is propagated as a mechanical wave. As with all waves it travels and so has a speed.
What wave travels through only matter?
Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.
In what type of wave do the particle in the medium experience forces parallel to the wave's direction?
The type of wave in which the particles in the medium experience forces parallel to the wave's direction is the longitudinal wave. It is a mechanical wave that travels through a series of compressions and rarefactions.

Is light a mechanical wave or electromagnetic wave?
electromagnetic- light travels in the form of waves ( visible spectrum- 380-760 nanometres)
Which type of wave travels the fastest?
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
What type of wave do the do the particle in the medium experience forces parallel to the waves direction?
The type of wave in which the particles in the medium experience forces parallel to the wave's direction is the longitudinal wave. It is a mechanical wave that travels through a series of compressions and rarefactions.
