Question
the two types of mechanical waves are:
light waves
electromagnetic waves
transverse waves
longitudinal waves
Mechanical waves are classified into two types based on the direction of particle oscillation relative to wave propagation: Transverse Waves (particles oscillate perpendicular to wave direction) and Longitudinal Waves (particles oscillate parallel to wave direction). Light Waves and Electromagnetic Waves are not mechanical (they don’t need a medium), so the correct options for the two types of mechanical waves are Transverse Waves and Longitudinal Waves.
