Mechanical waves.
For example, sound waves, ocean waves, etc.
Many waves need a medium to travel: sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves.
Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium.
E.M. waves require no medium. Sound waves require a medium.
An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.

mechanical waves need a medium to travel through, electromagnetic waves do not. Electromagnetic waves can travel through space, mechanical waves can not.:PElectromagnetic waves do not require a medium, but mechanical waves do.
Quantifying the number of types of waves in fact reduces to the problem of quantifying the number of forces. In fact, mechanical waves are a subset of electromagnetic waves, so there are in fact three other types of waves on top of electromagnetic, for the three other fundamental forces: strong nuclear, weak nuclear, gravitational. Mechanical movement can be caused by any of the four fundamental forces. *Short answer: no. By the way, mechanical waves require a medium, where EM waves do not. They are the only, two, separate types of waves.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, do not require a material medium for their propagation. They can travel through a vacuum because they are created by oscillating electric and magnetic fields. This is in contrast to mechanical waves, like sound waves, which require a medium such as air or water to propagate.
Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. They transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to vibrate. These waves differ from electromagnetic waves, which can travel through a vacuum, and do not require a medium to propagate.
No, electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves; they do not require a medium to travel through. Transverse waves are a type of mechanical wave that require a medium for propagation; examples include waves on a string or water waves.
Mechanical waves, like sound waves and water waves, require a medium (such as air or water) to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Water waves are a type of mechanical waves that travel through water. They differ from other types of waves, such as electromagnetic waves, in that they require a medium, like water, to propagate. Water waves are caused by the disturbance of the water's surface, while electromagnetic waves do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
No, transverse waves do not require a medium to propagate.
E.M. waves require no medium. Sound waves require a medium.
Mechanical waves require a medium for their propagation whereas electromagnetic waves require a medium for their propagation.
All waves require a medium.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, do not require a medium to propagate. They can travel through vacuum because they consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
Mechanical waves require a physical medium to propagate, such as sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not need a medium. They include light waves and radio waves.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, do not require a medium to travel through. These waves can travel through a vacuum, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium to propagate, like sound waves in air or water waves in the ocean.
