What waves are mechanical?
Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.
Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
What is the passage of an EM wave through a medium?
when EM waves encounter a material medium, they can interact with it in much the same way that mechanical waves do. A mechanical wave transfer energy in two ways. As it travels, the wave moves potential energy from one place to another.
All of the following are incorrect statements of the wave-speed equation except for:?
c
Pitch describes how high or low a sound is. The pitch of a sound is most dependent upon the of the sound wave.?
frequency
which following is not a characteristic of a transverse mechanical wave?
?
Which of the following describes light as a wave?
Light is a transverse wave
Which property describes an electromagnetic wave and not a mechanical wave?
An electromagnetic wave does not require a medium to travel through, whereas a mechanical wave does. This property is known as the ability of an electromagnetic wave to propagate through a vacuum.
What is the following best describes a wave?
A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through a medium. It consists of oscillations that travel from one place to another without causing permanent displacement of the medium. Waves can be classified as mechanical waves, which require a medium for propagation, or electromagnetic waves, which can travel through a vacuum.
Which one of the following is not an example of a mechanical wave water wave earthquake wave sound wave or radio wave?
Radio wave is not an example of a mechanical wave because it is an example of an electromagnetic wave. Mechanical waves require a medium to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.
Which of the following is not a mechanical wave' a transverse a longitudinal or a electromagnetic?
Electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves, as they do not require a medium (such as air or water) to propagate. Transverse and longitudinal waves, on the other hand, are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through.
What word best describes a wave?
Undulating.
WHAT BEST DESCRIBES THE WAVE OF THE OCEAN?
surface waves
A wave in witch matter moves back and forth in the direction of the wave?
This describes a mechanical wave, where matter oscillates in the same direction as the wave propagation. An example of this is a water wave as the water moves up and down in the direction of the wave.
Is a tidal wave a mechanical wave?
A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.
What does wave amplitude describe in a mechanical wave?
Wave amplitude describes the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position. In other words, it measures the maximum height or intensity of the wave from its resting state. A higher amplitude indicates a more energetic wave.
Was the Kashmir earthquake caused by a mechanical wave or electromagnetic wave?
A mechanical wave.
