A
mechanical wave is a
wave that propagates as an oscillation of
matter, and therefore transfers energy through a
medium.
[1] While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the
medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.
. mechanical waves transport energy only This energy propagates in the same
direction as the wave. Any kind of wave (mechanical or electromagnetic)
has a certain energy. No material is transported as a result of
mechanical waves. Mechanical wave can be produced only in media which
possess elasticity and inertia.
