Mechanical waves, unlike electromagnetic waves,

• only occur in machines

• require a medium to pass through.

• do not require a medium like solid, liquid, or gas

• consist of transverse, surface, and electromagnetic waves

Sound waves that bounce off a solid surface are

• absorbed and lose the majority of energy

• do not require a medium to pass through

• reflected waves

• refracted waves
