Mechanical waves waves need to interact with particles of either a solid, liquid, or gas to travel.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the world, the dispersal of energy is under the control of two important waves called electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves. Waves in water and sound waves in air are two instances of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are brought about by an unsettling influence or vibration in particles of either a solid, liquid, or gas to travel.
Water waves are formed by vibrations in a fluid and sound waves are shaped by vibrations in a gas (air). These mechanical waves travel through a medium by making the atoms to interact with one another.
