2. What are mechanical waves?
Ans. Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids. Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and seismic waves.
3. What are electromagnetic waves?
Ans. Electromagnetic waves are waves that do not require a medium to travel through and can travel through a vacuum. Examples of electromagnetic waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays.
4. What are longitudinal waves?
Ans. Longitudinal waves are waves in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves and seismic P-waves.
5. What are transverse waves?
