Question

Which statements accurately describe mechanical waves? Check all that apply.

Energy is transferred through vibrating particles.
A mechanical wave does not carry energy through matter.
A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave.
A transverse wave is a type of mechanical wave.
An ocean wave moving through water is an example of a mechanical wave.

Answer 1

Answers that apply include

• Energy is transferred through vibrating particles
• An ocean wave moving through water is an example of a mechanical wave
• A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave.
• A transverse wave is a type of mechanical wave

Mechanical waves can't pass through vacuum like electromagnetic waves because t depends on the transfer of energy between particles of matter (matter that has inertia and elasticity). This energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Another example of mechanical energy is sound. In addition to longitudinal and transverse waves, another type of mechanical wave is surface waves.

Answer 2

Statements that give some description as regards mechanical waves are:

Energy is transferred through vibrating particles.

An ocean wave moving through water is an example of a mechanical wave.

A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave.

A transverse wave is a type of mechanical wave.

• Mechanical wave can be regarded as a wave which takes place as a result of oscillation of matter, which brings about transfers energy through a medium.

• An instance of this is ocean wave that is progressing  through water.

Therefore, mechanical waves are being transferred as a result of vibrating particles.
