Question

why are sound waves called mechanical waves ?​

Answer 1

A sound wave is a wave in which particles vibrate in the direction parallel to the direction of the wave. So, sound waves are longitudinal. Also, it cannot travel through a vacuum and requires a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel. Thus, a sound wave is called a mechanical wave.
