There are three types of mechanical waves: Transverse wave, Longitudinal wave, and Surface waves.

Electromagnetic Waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field.
-
Electromagnetic waves are waves that have no medium to travel whereas mechanical waves need a medium for its transmission. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not. ... While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.
