Well, passing through it. I mean, is anything really "free"? Changing the energy from one form (wave) to another doesn't "spend" part of itself?

Incredible video, but I still don't understand how does a wave not loses energy as it passes through mediums, or the energy it loses is negligible since it has so little? What happens? I've understood something and now I understand even less.

This block of text felt too complex for a leyman like me to fully understand it as I read through, is there a "for idiots" version of it?
