No, electromagnetic waves do not need matter to travel. However, they can interact with matter and change accordingly.
Electromagnetic waves don't need anything to travel. This kind of waves does not need a medium to move through, therefore they can even travel through outer space.
The biggest difference is that mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and electromagnetic waves do not.

Electromagnetic waves can travel through space.Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy.
Sound waves need a physical material to carry them, but electromagnetic waves don't.
Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium in which to travel. They move "best" through a perfect vacuum.

They do not need a medium.
because sound waves are not a electromagnetic waves because they need a medium for travel....hence electromagnetic spectrum is based on the electromagnetic waves ..like radio waves , micro waves , etc....
No. Electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum ( ie space where there is nothing)
electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to travel but they can travel through a medium too so the answer is both.
Electromagnetic waves.
