When radio and television programmes, computer data, or other electronic messages are transmitted, they are sent from one place to another, using wires, radio waves, or satellites.

If one person or animal transmits a disease to another, they have the disease and cause the other person or animal to have it.

If you transmit an idea or feeling to someone else, you make them understand and share the idea or feeling.

If an object or substance transmits something such as sound or electrical signals, the sound or signals are able to pass through it.
