What is the difference between mechanical and non-mechanical waves?

Mechanical waves do not require a medium while non-mechanical waves do

Mechanical waves require a medium while non-mechanical waves do not (correct)

Mechanical waves and non-mechanical waves are the same thing

Mechanical waves and non-mechanical waves both require a medium

What is the difference between a pulse wave and a periodic wave?

A pulse wave is caused by a sudden disturbance and doesn't last for a long time while a periodic wave lasts for several cycles, repeating the same pattern (correct)

A pulse wave and a periodic wave are the same thing

A pulse wave and a periodic wave both last for several cycles, repeating the same pattern

A pulse wave lasts for several cycles, repeating the same pattern while a periodic wave is caused by a sudden disturbance and doesn't last for a long time

What is the difference between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave?

A transverse wave and a longitudinal wave are the same thing

A transverse wave is when all motion on the wave is moving with the same points while a longitudinal wave is a wave that consists of a periodic disturbance or vibration that takes place in the same direction

A transverse wave is a wave that consists of a periodic disturbance or vibration that takes place in the same direction while a longitudinal wave is when all motion on the wave is moving with the same points (correct)

A transverse wave and a longitudinal wave both consist of a periodic disturbance or vibration that takes place in the same direction
