A good question. Light can not exactly move an object into space but once an object is in space the light from the sun can be used to move it, and I don't mean solar panels harnessing electricity. A probe can actually have a "sail" like panel protruting from it that can harness radiation being given off by the sun and use it like a sail boat does to harness energy for movement. You might have heard the term solar wind which is basically the same idea. Believe it or not, space probes and other vehicals can obtain pretty fast speeds just by using solar wind. Hope this information was helpful.

Does light need a medium through which to travel?
No, it does not. It can travel through any open space. Sound, unlike light, needs a medium to travel. So light can travel through outer space but sound cannot because there is no medium.
What is use of Reverse osmosis plant?

Do mirrors work in outer space?
Yes, mirrors do work in outer space! That is because light also travels in space just like on Earth.
How fast is electronic dynamic waves travel to the space.?
I assume you mean electromagnetic waves. In outer space, they will travel at the speed of light (since light is also an electrodynamic wave). This speed is about 300,000 kilometers per second.

Yuri Gagarin was the first human to travel in outer space on April 12th, 1961
