The layer that describes how data is transmitted over a physical medium is the Physical Layer. It encompasses the hardware technologies and protocols involved in transmitting raw bits over a physical connection, including electrical signals, light signals, and radio waves. This layer defines the characteristics of the physical medium, such as cable types, signal frequencies, and data rates. It serves as the foundation for higher layers in the network architecture, ensuring reliable data transmission.

The network access layer is the lowest layer of the TCP/IP model, responsible for facilitating the physical transmission of data over a network. It encompasses the protocols and technologies that enable devices to connect to a network, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and other physical media. This layer handles tasks such as framing, addressing, and error detection, ensuring that data packets are properly transmitted to their destination. By managing the interaction between the network and the physical hardware, the network access layer plays a crucial role in network communication.
