Will mark brainliest! explain why a mechanical wave does not exist in a vacuum.

 Light waves are a wave in the electromagnetic field, this field may exist in a vacuum. Sound needs either solid, liquid, or gas to propagate and therefore it is called a mechanical wave. Sound is a form of energy which is transferred by vibrating air molecules if motions of propagation is air.

explanation:

crosscutting concepts have application across all domains of science. as such, they are a way of linking the different domains of science. they include patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; energy and matter; structure and function; and stability and change.
