Mechanical wave

Mechanical waves and Electromagnetic waves are the main 2 types of waves by media of propagation. Types of Electromagnetic waves include Visible Light, Microwaves etc. while Sound waves, Water waves are few types of mechanical waves. Learn facts, properties and examples of waves with flow diagram.

The development could have implications for a broad range of fields.

Mechanical-and-Electromagneti-Wave

A sound wave is a mechanical disturbance that propagates through a medium such as air, water, or solids, carrying energy and information.

Researchers are making waves in an unlikely place: the human body. The reason? To detect and diagnose diseases.

What a longitudinal wave is, its compressions and rarefactions and what a P wave is.

1. Sounds are mechanical waves. They are caused by vibrating objects. Hence, all vibrating objects produce sound. As an example: The strings of a guitar, the skin of a drum and a tuning fork vibrate to produce sound. 2. By using a loudspeaker as an example, the vibrating cone of a loudspeaker produces sound by vibration. 3. Its vibrating diaphragm is continually compressing and stretching the air next to it. 4. This produces a series of compression and rarefaction travel through the air away…

Kids learn about waves in the science of physics including types such as mechanical, electromagnetic, transverse, and longitudinal. Facts and examples are included.
