Question

Compare properties of emw waves and mechanical waves

Answer 1

Answer:

Differences are

Explanation:

Mechanical Wave:

Waves that need mechanical medium to propagate are mechanical waves.

[medium with properties like inertia and elasticity ]

These waves cannot propagate through Vacuum,  Waves of Sound are an example.

Electromagnetic Wave:

Waves that do not need any mechanical medium to travel are EMV;

Can travel through Vacuum, and light waves are an example of one of these kind.

In short,,

Waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field are EMW and the Opposite are Mechanical waves.
