Put all mechanical waves on the Mechanical side and all electromagnetic waves on the Electromagnetic side. Concretely:
- Mechanical: earthquake waves, ocean waves, sound waves
- Electromagnetic: radiation waves, light waves, X-ray waves
To get that from the mistaken table, perform swaps 1, 3 and 4:
- Swap earthquake waves and radiation waves.
- Swap ocean waves and X-ray waves.
- Swap sound waves and light waves.
Do NOT swap light waves and X-ray waves (swap 2 is unnecessary — both are electromagnetic).
