Jul 12, 2021 at 6:15 comment added HolgerFiedler as I wrote in the answer „ all atomic structures (except possibly at the point of impact) will remain in place after the oscillation. The elasticity of the material allows the wave to propagate, but not permanent material displacements.“
Jul 12, 2021 at 5:50 comment added Rajat aggarwal But then what makes the particles get going in a disturbance which is so periodic , called as wave, to pass the energy? And how and why only through this way energy passes?
Jul 12, 2021 at 5:45 comment added HolgerFiedler The last. Take porridge. the waves fade out very fast. Take a glas or a bell. The material and the shape allows the wave to propagate in these materials and forms to travel for a long time.
Jul 12, 2021 at 5:40 comment added Rajat aggarwal Yeah.. so we gave the energy by striking? And energy traveled in a form of wave. What causes that? Isn't it the movement of particles to and fro? Or is it bcoz energy is passing in a form, that is what causes this movement? But then why only this way? Shouldn't energy just pass? So because energy is passing, that's why particle have this motion, or because particles move in such manner, the energy passes?
