Yes. In fact light traveling through air moves slower than when traveling through a vacuum. Light traveling from the Sun travels through space which is almost a vacuum. Stars are suns and light from them goes through the interstitial areas between galactic clusters which is very close to a total vacuum.

In certain surcomstances yes, but many no. it depends what the light is coming from. E.G: bulb, it would be seen in a glass box, but would not be heard.

what vcan travel with or without a medium?

Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through a vacuum, or a space with no air, meaning it does not require a medium to travel through. Other forms of electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves, microwaves, and x-rays, can also travel through a vacuum. Sound, on the other hand, is a form of mechanical wave which requires a medium to travel. This medium can be a solid, liquid, or gas, and is the way sound travels from one place to another. For example, when someone speaks, the sound waves travel through the air and reach our ears. In summary, light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation can travel with or without a medium, while sound requires a medium to travel.
