I have got a trouble with wave concept
suppose wave is passing through a medium ( let it ,just started)
suppose there are four points in the medium (particles)
A,B,C,D
as soon as A is disturbed even by an infinitesimally small distance , B experiences a forces (forces act instantaneously ) . time taken =0;
same happens from B to C
then C to D
time in each case is 0
so net time is 0;
but wave takes some time to reach D, I can't understand why that time gap is coming .as every thing is happening instantly.
