Wind speed is measured using an anemometer. It is typically made up of cups attached to spindle. The stronger the wind the faster the cups rotate and the higher the reading. Several readings should be taken over a couple of minutes and an average taken. The measurement is sometimes made in knots but any speed unit is possible.

a wave propagated at the speed of light by the periodic variations of electric and magnetic fields. electromagnetic wave. A wave of energy consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Radio waves, light waves, and x-rays are electromagnetic waves.
Definition of Mechanical Waves. A mechanical wave is a wave that is a vibration in matter, transferring energy through a material. Not all waves are like this. For example, electromagnetic waves such as visible light are not mechanical because they can travel through the vacuum of space to reach us from the sun. Mechanical waves include water waves, sound waves, earthquake waves, and many more. Like all waves, those of the mechanical variety have peaks, or crests, and troughs. They also have a frequency, which is the number of waves that pass by per second, and a wavelength, which is the distance from one peak to the next, or one trough to the next.
