Mechanical Wave - *Periodic* disturbance which *requires material medium* (i.e. solid, liquid or gas) *for its propagation*.
|
||||
These waves are characterized by the motion of the particles of a medium.
|
||||
These waves have well defined characteristics.
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
If the particles of a medium oscillate to and fro in the direction of wave propagation -> longitudinal wave
|
||||
If the particles of a medium oscillate to and fro perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation -> Transverse wave
