Is a tidal wave a mechanical wave?

A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.


A wave that requires a medium to travel?

A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave or a water wave, requires a medium to travel because it relies on the vibration or movement of particles in the medium to propagate energy. Without a medium, these waves cannot transfer their energy.

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 is the difference between mechanical wave and non mechanical?

Mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or a solid material) to propagate, while non-mechanical waves can travel through a vacuum, such as electromagnetic waves. Mechanical waves involve the transfer of energy through the vibration of particles in the medium, while non-mechanical waves involve the transfer of energy in the form of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
