Question

State the properties of the medium through
which mechanical waves can be propagated.​

Answer 1

$\huge\underline{\underline\mathtt{Answer:-}}$

For the propagation of mechanical waves through a medium, the medium must possess the following properties :

(1) The medium must be continuous and elastic so that it can regain its original state after removal of deforming forces.

(2) The medium should possess inertia. The medium should be capable of storing energy and transferring it in the form of waves.

(3) The medium should have negligible friction so that oscillations of the particles are not significantly damped and the wave travels longer distance.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey mate, hope this answer helps you

Explanation:

MEDIUM SHOULD BE ISOTROPIC: The properties of the medium should be the same in all directions. ELASTICITY : The medium should have elasticity so that the particles return back to their original positions after being displaced. INERTIA : This allows the particles to store kinetic energy.
