Both electromagnetic waves and gravity waves can travel through empty space. Gravity waves travel through matter as well; some electromagnetic waves may travel through some types of matter.

What type of energy can travel trough empty space and travels in waves?
Electron free light.
What does light travel through best empty space or matter?
Light travels fastest through empty space.
What kind of wave is able to travel through both matter and empty space?
A type of wave that can travel through empty space as well as through matter is electromagnetic wave. Light travels fastest in empty spaces.
What is required for conduction and convection but not radiation?
It is required in both that the pieces of matter are touching so that the heat travels through the matter and not empty space (Radiation)
Do radiant energy need a matter to travel?
No. As an example, the light from the Sun travels through empty space to reach us.
Why cant you get energy from the sun through convection?
Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.

A type of wave that can travel through empty space as well as through matter is electromagnetic wave. Light travels fastest in empty spaces.
How heat travels through empty space?
Heat travels through empty spaces by radiation.
What is required for conduction and convection but not radiation?
It is required in both that the pieces of matter are touching so that the heat travels through the matter and not empty space (Radiation)
Do radiant energy need a matter to travel?
No. As an example, the light from the Sun travels through empty space to reach us.
Does radiation travel through an empty space-?
Radiation travels through empty space and substance.
What travels through empty space and through matter?
One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.
Why does light travel faster in empty spaces?
Light travels faster (up to the speed of light) in a vacuum, which is empty space. Light travels slower through a medium (matter).
Light from the sun travels through space to earth's atmosphere. What will light waves do when they move from an empty space into matter made up of different gases?
slow down and refract
What state of matter travels through waves?
It depends. Is it a mechanical wave or a electromagnetic wave? Mechanical waves (for example sound waves) travel trough every state of matter and they can't exist without matter. They don't travel through vacuum. Electromagnetic waves travel trough space and get interrupted only by other electromagnetic waves.
