mechanical waves

Let us learn about mechanical waves

Mechanical waves are referred as a local oscillation of material. Only the energy propagates; the oscillating material does not travel far from its initial equilibrium position; the wave travels by jumping from 1 particle of the medium to another. Hence, mechanical waves transport energy & not material

Water waves, Sound waves, & waves in solid objects are all best example of mechanical waves

A mechanical wave is the transport of energy through a medium

Make a note that it is energy which is moving and not the material through which the energy travels.
