We study the internal wave propagation and transmission across the radiation-convection interface in a solar-type star by solving the linear perturbation equations of a self-gravitating and uniformly rotating polytropic fluid in spherical geometry with Coriolis force fully taken into account. Three structures are considered: convective zone, radiative zone, and a transitional layer at the interface. In a rotating convective zone, energy flux is predominantly carried by sound waves while kinetic energy by inertial waves, and rotation has a great effect on non-axisymmetric modes. In a radiative zone without rotation, energy flux is predominantly carried by sound waves or gravity waves while kinetic energy by gravity waves. In a layered structure, rotation enhances gravito-inertial waves transmission at the interface because the group velocity of inertial waves is almost along the rotational axis. This implies that we can detect the deep interior of rapidly rotating solar-type stars at the young age.
