    Explained

    Explanation:

    Mechanical waves such as sound waves are created when a source of energy causes a medium to vibrate.

    Energy vibrating a medium produces a energy wave that are mechanical in nature, which means that they require a medium through which they travel.

    Mechanical waves are of two types

    1. Transverse, in which crests and troughs are up and down.

    2. Longitudinal, with compressions and rarefraction.
