When a solid turns directly into a gas, without passing through a liquid phase, it is called sublimation.

A well-known example is the sublimation of solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) into gas at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of -78.5 oC (about -104 oF). This is sometimes used in theatres or nightclubs to produce a dense fog which remains close to the ground.

Can solids liquids and gases all can act as mediums for waves?

Yes, solids, liquids, and gases can all act as mediums for waves. The speed at which waves propagate through these mediums depends on their properties, such as density and elasticity. Solids typically transmit waves faster than liquids, which in turn transmit waves faster than gases.
