A tuning fork is struck against a hard surface. The particles in the tuning fork begin to vibrate quickly, transmitting a wave. What kind of wave does the tuning fork transmit?

seismic wave

mechanical wave<- I was thinking this one but i'm not sure, please help!

electromagnetic wave

radio wave

Mechanical waves

Explanation:

Waves are classified into two types:

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields in a direction perpendicular to the motion of the wave. They all travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, and they are the only waves able to travel through a vacuum. Examples of electromagnetic waves are visible light, radio waves, microwaves..

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium. Due to their nature, they cannot travel in a vacuum, since there is no medium. Examples of mechanical waves are: sound waves, seismic waves, etc.

In this problem, the tuning fork is struck against a hard surface; as we know, the particles in the tuning force begin to vibrate quickly, causing vibrations in the particles in the air. These are sound waves: sound waves are mechanical waves (because they are produced by the vibrations of the particles in the medium), therefore the correct answer is

Mechanical wave

what is the question because that is not a question.
