A key property of a mechanical wave is that it requires a material medium to propagate — it cannot travel through a vacuum. Other important properties include:
- It transfers energy (and information) without the net transport of matter.
- Characteristic quantities: amplitude, wavelength, frequency, period, and wave speed.
- Can be longitudinal (particle displacement parallel to propagation) or transverse (displacement perpendicular).
- Obeys superposition (interference) and can undergo reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
If you meant a specific multiple-choice option, tell me the choices and I’ll pick the correct one.
