Definition
透射 is a verb meaning 'to transmit' or 'to pass through', used primarily in physics and technical contexts to describe the passage of light, sound, or other waves through a medium. It is distinct from 反射 (reflection) and 折射 (refraction). In everyday Chinese, you'll most often encounter it in scientific or academic writing, not casual conversation.
