Mechanical waves: they are waves that propagates by the vibration of particles of the medium(Solid,Liquid,Gas), so it needs medium to propagate.It may be transverse waves or longitudinal waves.

What is the height of a soundwave which indicates loudness of a sound?
It's the Acoustic Definition of Amplitude.The height of the sound wave is called its amplitude.
What is a similarity between infrasound and ultrasound?
"Sound" is a mechanical wave traveling through a medium. Ultrasound is sound, but its frequency is higher than humans can hear.
What is the medium that connects the receiver to the transmitter?
Any number of things can stand between a transmitter and receiver and "connect" them. If we're talking about electromagnetic radiation (like radio waves), these signals can move through the vacuum of space, through air, or through a number of other materials. Metals and other substances that are good conductors will be resistant to penetration by or will stop radio waves. The frequency of the electromagnetic radiation will have something to do with what it will "go through" to allow it to be "connected" to a receiver.There is one thing to remember in parting: electromagnetic radiation does not need a medium through which to travel. It carries the energy of the radiation "with it" when it goes. That allows this form of energy to move through the vacuum of space. Compare this to something like a sound wave, which is mechanical energy. With waves that are mechanical energy, the medium through which the wave moves must carry the energy of that wave. Said another way, the source of the mechanical energy must put its energy into the medium for that medium to propagate the wave.
What is di brogali eqation?
Definition: an equation used to describe the wave properties of matter, specifically, the wave nature of the electron:λ = h/mv,where λ is wavelength, h is Planck's constant, m is the mass of a particle, moving at a velocity v.de Broglie suggested that particles can exhibit properties of waves.
What is the fastest moving earthquake wave?
The P-wave which is a form of body wave known as a compression or longitudinal wave.
Is a tidal wave a mechanical wave?
A tidal wave is a water wave so it is a mechanical wave.
Was the Kashmir earthquake caused by a mechanical wave or electromagnetic wave?
A mechanical wave.
Is an ocean wave mechanical wave?
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
is An electromagnetic wave is a mechanical wave/true or false?
True, because mechanical waves require a medium for propagation.
Which of the following is not a mechanical wave' a transverse a longitudinal or a electromagnetic?
An electromagnetic wave is not a mechanical wave.
Is a mechanical wave a transverse wave?
A mechanical wave is any wave pattern that results from one or many forces. A mechanical wave can be a transverse wave, such as seen on a violin string, or a longditudinal wave, such as sound waves.
Is an ultrasound wave mechanical vibrating energy?
ultrasound wave is a wave due to mechanical vibration,
What are some mechanical wave?
Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.
Example of a mechanical wave?
Wave
Is An electromagnetic wave is a mechanical wave?
No.
What is a mechanical wave and a medium?
A mechanical wave is a wave the transfers energy through a medium If anyone know what a mechanical waves medium is add an answer to this question
Is a gamma wave a mechanical wave?
No, a gamma wave is not a mechanical wave. The gamma ray is considered an electromagnetic wave.
