The Speed of a wave in a medium?

It depends on what type of wave and in which medium.


Medium for the wave?

The medium of any wave is the material that the wave energy travels through; in this case water.


Does a transverse wave move a medium?

Yes, a transverse wave does move the medium. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the particles in the medium are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is moving. This motion of the particles transmits the energy of the wave through the medium.


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.


A wave that can travel only through matter?

A mechanical wave is a type of wave that can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Examples include sound waves, seismic waves, and ocean waves.
