<p>In <a href="page.php?w=classical_mechanics">classical mechanics</a>, a <b>mechanical wave</b> is a <a href="page.php?w=wave">wave</a> that is an oscillation of <a href="page.php?w=matter">matter</a>, and therefore transfers energy through an <a href="page.php?w=transmission_medium">elastic material medium</a>. Vacuum is, from classical perspective, a non-material medium, where <a href="page.php?w=electromagnetic_radiation">electromagnetic waves</a> propagate. </p>
