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

Mechanical waves are a fundamental physical aspect of the movement of physical objects, whether these objects are solids, liquids, or gases. Every time an object moves under the influence of a force, waves are involved. In some cases the waves are more obvious, such as sound waves traveling through the air (which we can hear). But other times the presence of waves is not as obvious, such as in solid objects moving under the influence of a force.
