But this characterization also fits various kinds of perceptual and linguistic activities that are not usually considered measurements, and is therefore too broad to count as a definition of measurement.
While mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency, electromagnetic waves are produced by the vibration of the charged particles. When comparing the speed of mechanical and electromagnetic waves, the former travels at low speed.
There are many types of waves, but this type of waves require a medium to travel. Mechanical waves include many waves such as, Sound waves; Water waves; Ocean waves; Earth quake waves; Seismic waves; Sound Waves. Sound waves are considered as mechanical waves under sub type, longitudinal waves.
