 A material medium is necessary for the transmission for
mechanical waves. Mechanical waves cannot travel through
vacuum.
 Due to elastic forces on adjacent layers of medium,
disturbance is transmitted from one layer to the next through
the medium.

Water waves, sound, vibration of spring, etc.

according to the direction of vibration, waves are also classified into :

(a) Transverse wave;
(b) Longitudinal waves.
 The waveform appears in the shape of sine curve.
 A wave in which the motions of the matter particles are
perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave itself.

Examples Water waves, pulse in a stretched

string,transverse wave demonstrator.
 A wave in which the motions of the matter particles are
in the same direction as the wave propagation.

Sound, or a spring oscillating up and down, etc.

Examples
Show magnetic longitudinal demonstrator
 Material medium is not essential for propagation.
e/m waves travel through vacuum.
 Disturbance of electric and magnetic fields travelling
through space.
 All electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.

X-rays, radio waves, micro-waves,etc. examples
