Yes, a water wave is a mechanical wave because it requires a medium (water) to propagate. It transfers energy through the water by causing particles to oscillate back and forth as the wave passes through.
No, a glass of water is not a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves require a medium to travel through (such as water or air) and involve the actual movement of particles in that medium. A glass of water itself is a container holding the water, not a wave.
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.
Water waves are a type of mechanical wave called surface waves. They are caused by the oscillation of water particles at the surface of a body of water due to energy transfer from a disturbance, such as wind or a moving object.
No, eletromagnetic waves propagate in two planes (eletro-magnetic) and can propagate in a vacuum. Water waves, on the other hand, are dependant on matter to transfer energy, making it a mechanical wave, not an eletromagnetic one.
False. An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave; it is a type of wave that can travel through a vacuum, such as light or radio waves. Mechanical waves, on the other hand, require a medium to travel through, like sound waves traveling through air or water waves traveling through water.
