Why are sound waves called as mechanical waves
  • 1 answers

Gaurav Seth 7 years, 1 month ago

Sound waves are called mechanical waves because they need a medium to travel through.

Electromagnetic waves can travel through space(without medium), whereas sound waves cannot.

Sound waves always do need a medium, the medium can be different like air, water, metal(solid), but the presence of medium is a must for sound waves that is why they are called mechanical waves.
