Best Answer

Waves that travel through a medium are caused by vibration eg sound waves are caused by vibrating drum/ vocal cords etc and this causes the air particles to vibrate; a vibration in a still pond will cause waves of water.

However, light, radio waves are radiation. Electromagnetic waves are radiated eg light from the Sun is radiated to Earth through the vacuum of space.
