Periodic waves are characterized by a frequency, a wavelength, and by their speed. The wave frequency f is the oscillation frequency of the individual atoms or molecules. The period T = 1/f is the time it takes any particular atom or molecule to go through one complete cycle of its motion.

Mechanical wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mechanical wave is a disturbance that travels through some material or substance called the medium of the wave. Mechanical waves are the ideal type of waves as there is no transfer of matter. A mech...

A mechanical wave requires a medium hyper. Sound waves, waves in a Slinky , and pressure waves are all examples of this term. Sound waves need air molecules in order to exist; the Slinky waves need the Slinky, and the waves in the ocean nee...

Mechanical waves; Common types of mechanical waves include sound or acoustic waves, ocean waves, and earthquake or seismic waves. In order for compressional waves to propagate, there must be a medium, i.e. matter must exist in the intervening space.

Mechanical Waves are waves which propagate through a material medium (solid, liquid, or gas) at a wave speed which depends on the elastic and inertial properties of that medium. There are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal waves and transverse waves.
