This category contains results about Elastic Waves.
Definitions specific to this category can be found in Definitions/Elastic Waves.
An elastic wave is a wave whose mechanism is that a particle of the medium is displaced such that it transfers its momentum to another particle and then returns to its original position.
The second particle then causes a further particle to be displaced in the same manner, and so on.
