===Meaning===
A '''mechanical wave''' is [[wave]] that passes through a [[material]].
===About Mechanical Waves===
: '''Mechanical waves''' [[Energy Transfer|transmit energy]] by the [[oscillation]] of [[particle]]s.
Some '''mechanical waves''' you should know:
*[[Wave Water Wave]]s*Waves on a Slinky Spring*[[Sound|Sound Waves]] ==Key Stage 4=====Meaning===A '''mechanical wave''' is [[wave]] that passes through [[Slinky matter]]. ===About Mechanical Waves===: '''Mechanical waves''' [[Energy Transfer|transmit energy]] and [[information]] from one place to another without the net transfer of [[mass]]. That means the [[particle]]s don't travel to the destination of the [[wave]]. Instead they end up back where they started after the [[wave]] has passed through.Some '''mechanical waves''' you should know:*[[Water Wave]]s*Waves on a Slinky Spring*[[Sound|Sound Waves]]*[[Waves on a String]]*[[Sound Seismic Wave]]s ===References=======AQA==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/019835939X/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=019835939X&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=57e96876985fc39b1a3d8a3e3dc238b6 ''Mechanical waves, pages 174, 180-185, GCSE Physics; Third Edition, Oxford University Press, AQA ''] ====OCR====:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0198359837/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0198359837&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=3c4229e8b023b2b60768e7ea2307cc6f ''Mechanical waves, pages 142, Gateway GCSE Physics, Oxford, OCR '']
