  2. Transmission medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_medium

    Unguided transmission media are methods that allow the transmission of data without the use of physical means to define the path it takes. Examples of this include microwave, radio or infrared. Unguided media provide a means for transmitting electromagnetic waves but do not guide them; examples are propagation through air, vacuum and seawater.

    Example of multimodality: A televised weather forecast (medium) involves understanding spoken language, written language, weather specific language (such as temperature scales), geography, and symbols (clouds, sun, rain, etc.). Multimodality is the application of multiple literacies within one medium.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_project

    A science project is an educational activity for students involving experiments or construction of models in one of the science disciplines. Students may present their science project at a science fair, so they may also call it a science fair project. Science projects may be classified into four main types.

  8. Optical medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_medium

    In optics, an optical medium is material through which light and other electromagnetic waves propagate. It is a form of transmission medium . The permittivity and permeability of the medium define how electromagnetic waves propagate in it.

  9. Mechanical wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_wave

    In physics, a mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a material medium. [1] (Vacuum is, from classical perspective, a non-material medium, where electromagnetic waves propagate.) While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is ...
