Key Stage 3
Meaning
A mechanical wave is wave that passes through a material.
About Mechanical Waves
- Mechanical waves transmit energy by the oscillation of particles.
Some mechanical waves you should know:
Key Stage 4
Meaning
A mechanical wave is wave that passes through matter.
About Mechanical Waves
- Mechanical waves transmit energy and information from one place to another without the net transfer of mass. That means the particles don't travel to the destination of the wave. Instead they end up back where they started after the wave has passed through.
