Comparison between Electromagnetic Waves and Mechanical Waves

# data[].attributes.body
Mechanical wave and Electromagnetic waves are types of waves, but the do not conclude the same property

# data[].attributes.body
There are 3 types of Mechanical waves, one which is transverse waves which Transverse waves cause the medium to vibrate at a right angle to the direction of the wave or energy being carried by the medium, the Longitudinal waves cause the medium to vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave, and the final one which is Surface waves this type of wave travels along a surface that is between two media.

One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by its wavelength

How the initial wave requires the energy output

# data[].attributes.body
A mechanical wave requires an initial energy input. Once this initial energy is added, the wave travels through the medium until all its energy is transferred.

# data[].attributes.body
mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. Mechanical wave requires an initial energy input. Once this initial energy is added, the wave travels through the medium until all its energy is transferred. In contrast,electromagnetic waves require no medium, but can still travel through one.
