Are you familiar with mechanical waves and their concepts? A quick Mechanical Waves quiz will help you test your knowledge. A mechanical wave is the type of wave that needs a medium to be transmitted, as waves of this type do not travel through a vacuum. The quiz below is designed to test your basic understanding of mechanical waves. It will take less than a minute and is a true or false question. Give it a shot and see if you need more reading.

Is one in which the medium is displaced perpendicular to the wave in the direction of wave propagation, such as waves on a string
Is one in which the medium is displaced parallel to the wave in the direction of wave propagation, such as waves on a string
Is one in which the medium is displaced perpendicular to the wave in the direction of wave propagation, such as a sound wave in air
