Electromagnetic wave
An electromagnetic wave is a wave that is capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum (i.e., empty space).
Mechanical wave
A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave.
