No, light is not an example of a mechanical wave. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which does not require a medium to propagate, unlike mechanical waves like sound waves which do require a medium.
No, light is not a mechanical wave—it is an electromagnetic wave. Mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, whereas electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
Firelight is an electromagnetic wave. It consists of a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that includes visible light.
A transverse wave is a mechanical wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples include light waves and water waves.
Mechanical waves require a medium to travel through. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves, water waves, a vibrating string. (See related link).Electromagnetic waves (such as light, radio waves, X-rays, microwaves) do not need a medium to travel through, so these are not mechanical waves.Certain phenomena in quantum mechanics exhibit wavelike behavior, and also does not require any medium to travel.An example of a wave that is not a mechanical wave is a light wave. A mechanical wave is a wave that needs a medium to travel through. Light can travel in space, where there is no medium (no air)
No. A light wave is a transverse electromagnetic wave.

Firelight is an electromagnetic wave. It consists of a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that includes visible light.
Light is an electromagnetic wave. It consists of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the wave's propagation. This is in contrast to mechanical waves, like sound waves, which require a medium to travel through.

A non-mechanical wave is a type of wave that does not require a medium to propagate. Examples of non-mechanical waves include electromagnetic waves (such as light and radio waves) and gravitational waves. These waves can travel through a vacuum because they do not rely on the vibration of particles for propagation.
No, burning a candle is not a mechanical wave. A mechanical wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium, such as sound waves or seismic waves. Burning a candle involves a chemical reaction that produces heat and light.
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.
Sound is a longitudinal wave, as is any other mechanical wave. Light is a transversal wave, as all other Elektromagnetic waves.
Transverse waves can be both mechanical and electromagnetic. In a mechanical transverse wave, the disturbance of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (e.g. waves on a string). In an electromagnetic transverse wave, the oscillations of electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (e.g. light and radio waves).
