Waves are transmitted through a medium, which can be a solid, liquid, or gas. When a wave is created, it pushes or displaces the particles of the medium, transferring energy from one particle to the next. This transfer of energy causes the wave to propagate or travel through the medium. The speed at which waves are transmitted depends on the properties of the medium, such as density and stiffness. Generally, waves travel faster in denser and stiffer mediums.
