A mechanical wave is a wave that requires a medium to propagate. It cannot travel through a vacuum. Examples of mechanical waves: • Sound waves • Water waves • Seismic waves (P-waves and S-waves) A transverse wave is a wave in which the oscillations of the medium are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer (wave propagation). Examples of transverse waves: • Light waves (electromagnetic waves) • Waves on a string • S-waves (a type of seismic wave) That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
