Will Hooke's law $F = -kx$ applied to a large mass-spring grid array such as:
provide the full and complete mechanistic explanation for classical wave behavior, including the 2nd order wave behavioral equation?
Simulation (pulsing wave source at center, immovable edge masses):
Is it fair to say that common wave phenomena such as diffraction, interference, radiating speed, etc... all follows naturally from Hooke's law applied to large systems?
