Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sound and water waves are mechanical waves; meaning, they require a medium to travel through. The medium may be a solid, a liquid, or a gas, and the speed of the wave depends on the material properties of the medium through which it is traveling.
Detailed explanation-2: -The energy of a mechanical wave can travel only through matter. The matter through which the wave travels is called the medium (plural, media). The medium in the water wave pictured above is water, a liquid. But the medium of a mechanical wave can be any state of matter, even a solid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sound waves, water waves and seismic waves are some examples of mechanical waves.
