What else can I help you with?
A wave that can travel only through matter?
A wave that can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.
Is a radio wave a example of a mechanical 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.
What type of wave is not a mechanical wave?
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)
Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
What is the meaning of the mechanical wave?
a mechanical wave also called material wave is a wave that needs a medium to travel. mechanical waves cause a local uscillation of material. The oscillation of material.
What are some mechanical wave?
Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.
A wave that can travel only through matter?
A wave that can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.
Why are sound waves not considered a mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium in which to travel, i.e., a solid or fluid. As sound needs a medium to travel, sound is a mechanical wave.
What waves are mechanical?
Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.
What can sounds not travel through?
Since sound is a mechanical wave (it needs a substance to travel through) it cannot travel through a vacuum.
Is a radio wave a example of a mechanical 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.
Can a mechanical wave travel forever?
no
Can A mechanical wave can travel forever?
no

What is the name of a wave that requires a medium in which to travel?
A mechanical wave.
Can sound travel or heard in a vacuum?
Cannot be heard as sound being a mechanical wave badly needs a material medium
Is light an example of mechanical wave?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
