Air
Light waves
Light waves and electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. Water waves can only travel through matter. Hope this helped!
they travel smoothly
Mechanical waves travel fastest in mechanically-most-dense media. Electromagnetic waves travel fastest in optically-least-dense media.
Air
outer space
Light waves
Light waves travel fastest through vacuum, at nearly 30 million meters per second. Light travels more slowly through other substances such as air and water, and can be absorbed.
Light waves ALWAYS travel at the "Speed of Light"....based on the medium that the waves are traveling through. It just so happens that they go the FASTEST in a VACUUM.
The light wave, which is electromagnetic energy, is the fastest wave. The speed of light, which is a physics constant, is the speed of light in a vacuum, and no object with mass can be accelerated to this speed.

Primary (P) waves are the fastest. Followed by secondary (S) waves, then surface waves. P waves
Mechanical waves travel fastest in mechanically-most-dense media. Electromagnetic waves travel fastest in optically-least-dense media.
