Brief Explanations
Mechanical waves are defined as traveling vibrations in a medium. They require a medium (such as solid, liquid, or gas) to propagate. Vibrations that do not travel are not waves. Mechanical waves are not just moving particles of matter; they are the transfer of energy through the vibration of particles in a medium.
