Question

What are mechanical waves? ​

Answer 1

${\huge{\mathcal{\red{Mechanical}}}}$${\huge{\red{\mathfrak{Waves}}}}$

The waves which require medium for their propagation are called mechanical waves or elastic waves.

${\large{\green{Example}}}$

☞Sound waves.

☞Waves in stretched string.

For the propagation of such a wave they use the property "inertia of mass" so that the transfer of enery or momentum takes place.

Answer 2

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position
