Transmission medium
The medium that carries a wave is called a transmission medium. It can be classified into one or more of the following categories:
1. A linear medium if the amplitudes of different waves at any particular point in the medium can be added.
2. A bounded medium if it is finite in extent, otherwise an unbounded medium.
3. A uniform medium if its physical properties are unchanged at different locations in space.
4. An isotropic medium if its physical properties are the same in different directions.
