Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
Transmission in waves is the process by which a disturbance carries energy and information through a medium or space from one place to another. For sound waves, transmission means the propagation of alternating compressions and rarefactions through a material (air, water, or solids) as particles oscillate and pass energy along. When a wave meets a boundary between two media, part of its energy is transmitted into the second medium and part may be reflected or absorbed; the transmitted fraction depends on the acoustic impedances of the media. Efficient transmission requires a continuous path and minimal impedance mismatch to reduce reflections and loss.
