What is another word for mechanical wave?

Pronunciation: [mɪkˈanɪkə͡l wˈe͡ɪv] (IPA)

A mechanical wave is a type of wave that requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. It is also referred to as a physical wave or an elastic wave. Other synonyms for mechanical wave include vibrational wave, displacement wave, and propagating wave. Vibrational waves occur when a disturbance causes particles in a medium to oscillate back and forth, while displacement waves involve particles in a medium moving in a specific direction. Propagating waves travel through a medium and transfer energy, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium. All these synonyms refer to waves that transfer energy through the vibration or movement of particles in a medium, and are vital for our understanding of the natural world.
