Because of nickel's slow rate of oxidation at room temperature, it is considered corrosion-resistant. Historically, this has led to its use for plating metals such as iron and brass, coating chemistry equipment, and manufacturing certain alloys that retain a high silvery polish, such as German silver.
Which characteristic are shared by Electromagnetic and mechanical waves? Check ALL that apply. A.both have a crest and a trough B.both move due to particles bumping into each other C.both can move through matter D.both can occur as a result of a disturbance E. Both are formed by charged particles.
Differences between Sound Waves And Electromagnetic Waves. 1  A Sound wave is a longitudinal wave whereas, electromagnetic waves are transverse waves. 2  Sound is a mechanical vibration that passes through a medium such as gas, liquid or solid to become a sound.aves that does not need any medium or matter to travel through, and travels through space, are called electromagnetic waves. Sound waves. Sound is a mechanical wave that results from the back and forth vibration of the particles of the medium through which the sound wave is moving.
