The bottom line is that a transmission line may be
represented
as a distributed continuum of coupled harmonic oscillators and, thus,
excitations on a line propagate as waves! (See our earlier
discussion of the modes
of coupled oscillators)

also the applets Transverse
Traveling Wave and Wave Propagation along a Transmission Line as well as
the MATLAB simulation TLS)
