A microwave is an electromagnetic wave, which is a form of transverse wave. In transverse waves, the vibration or oscillation of the wave occurs perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In a microwave oven, the transverse microwave radiation heats and cooks food by causing water molecules to vibrate at high frequencies.
No, a radio wave is not an example of a mechanical wave. A mechanical wave requires a medium to travel through, such as water or air, while a radio wave can travel through a vacuum because it is an electromagnetic wave.
The diminutive of wave is wavelet.
Yes, a mechanical wave can be a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the wave particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, causing the wave to move in a series of crests and troughs. This is in contrast to a longitudinal wave, where the wave particles oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
A mechanical wave is a type of wave that requires a medium, such as a solid, liquid, or gas, to propagate. The medium is the substance through which the wave travels, carrying energy from one place to another. Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
No, an X-ray is not a mechanical wave. An X-ray is an electromagnetic wave. However, in polar molecules, an X-ray can cause the molecule to vibrate rapidly, just like a microwave oven can.
A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.
A mechanical wave.
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
No, it is actually a microwave wave.

Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.
No, a radio wave is not an example of a mechanical wave. A mechanical wave requires a medium to travel through, such as water or air, while a radio wave can travel through a vacuum because it is an electromagnetic wave.
A mechanical wave generally does NOT require a medium to propagate.

Sound propagates through a longitudinal wave, a type of mechanical wave.
Yes, a sound wave is a mechanical wave. Sound waves need a medium (like air) to travel through. The energy of the wave, the mechanical energy, is transferred into the medium through which it is propagated.
