    Introduction Mechanical waves are disturbances that propagate through a material medium due to the elastic properties of the medium. These waves transfer energy from one location to another without the physical transportation of matter. Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves. Fundamental Properties of Mechanical Waves The function describes the…

    Introduction Longitudinal waves are a type of wave in which the displacement of the medium’s particles is parallel to the propagation of the wave. They are characterized by alternating regions of compressions (areas where the particles are close together) and rarefactions (areas where the particles are far apart).
