Question

what is mechanical wave.?what are its types

Answer 1

Once this initial energy is added, the wave travels through the medium until all its energy is transferred. ... Some ofthe most common examples ofmechanical waves are water waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. There are three types of mechanical waves: transverse waves, longitudinalwaves, and surface waves.

$\red{\bold{\underline{\underline{Mechanical\: Waves:-}}}}$

Sound travels in the wave form in the material medium that's why they are mechanical waves.

$\pink{\bold{\underline{\underline{Type \: of \:Mechanical\: Waves:-}}}}$

• Longitudnal waves
• Transverse wave

$\purple{\bold{\underline{\underline{Longitudnal\: Waves:-}}}}$

If the particle of the medium vibrate in the same direction or parallel to the direction in which the wave is travelling then it is called the longitudnal waves.

Example:- sound waves .

Longitudnal waves can travel in all the types of medium – solid , liquid and gas

$\green{\bold{\underline{\underline{Transverse\: Waves:-}}}}$

A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the wave is travelling is called Transverse wave.

Example:- Water waves, light waves etc.
