because sound cannot travel through vacuum. It needs a medium. While the electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum e.g sun light.
OishiBanerjee:
No , when sound waves travel, there is constant interconversion of potential to kinetic energy so it is called mechanical wave
the question is why sound waves are called mechanical waves not how it travels and i have given a simple answer
It is not how it travels, it is the basic concept behind it being called a mechanical wave
But my answer is also not wrong.
Did I tell that ur answer is wrong?????
Why have you written "no"???
By mistake, sorry
