Given:
Some statements about the waves
To find:
The statement which is not true of all waves
Explanation:
The waves carry energy from one place to another. The wavelength of a wave is,
[tex]\lambda=\frac{v}{f}[/tex]Here, 'v' is the speed of the wave and 'f' is the frequency of the wave.
So, the wavelength is inc=versely proportional to frequency in a given medium.
The waves line electromagnetic waves do not need any mechanical medium to propagate, they can travel without any media.
Hence, the statement "Waves need a mechanical medium through which to propogate" is not true.
