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.
