We use microwaves to help us cook and reheat food. We use water waves to generate electricity.

A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium (mechanical) or not (electromagnetic) from one location to another location.

Wave energy is produced when electricity generators are placed on the surface of the ocean. This energy uses the movement of the ocean waves to generate electricity. This is an example of mechanical wave energy. Researchers have found a way to use electromagnetic waves

Mechanical Waves are waves which go through a material medium (solid, liquid, or gas) at a wave speed which depends on the elastic and inertial properties of that medium. Some examples are sound and water waves.

Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to carry it. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space. Examples of electromagnetic waves are radio and microwaves.
