Which statements accurately describe mechanical waves? Check all that apply.Energy is transferred through vibrating particles. A mechanical wave does not carry energy through matter.A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave.A transverse wave is a type of mechanical wave.An ocean wave moving through water is an example of a mechanical wave.

Mechanical waves transfer energy through vibrations of particles in a medium, so A is correct and B is incorrect. Both longitudinal waves and transverse waves can be mechanical waves, making C and D correct. An ocean wave travels through water, which is matter, so it is also a mechanical wave (E).
