Light waves, like all electromagnetic waves, travel without a medium, so they can travel through empty space. Sound waves, on the other hand, do require a medium to travel or propagate; therefore, they can not travel through empty space.

What is an empty space that contains no matter that light can travel through?
A vacuum.
Light is one type of wave that can travel through empty space to transfer?
yes, electomagnetic
What do light waves travel best through?
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.
Name one kind of wave that does not require a medium?
An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.
How is heat transferred through empty space?
Light energy, like from the sun.
What does light travel through best empty space or matter?
Light travels fastest through empty space.
What kind of wave is able to travel through both matter and empty space?
A type of wave that can travel through empty space as well as through matter is electromagnetic wave. Light travels fastest in empty spaces.
Why does light travel fastest through empty space?
because there is nothing in space to block the light and no barometric pressure
What materials can light travel through faster than it travels through air?
Light travels fastest through space which has no air. Space is a vacuum which is the fastest way for light to travel.
What does light travel faster through?
Light travels fastest through vacuum.
Does light travel fastest through solids liquids gases or empty spaces?
Technically the speed of light does not vary because of the material, because the speed of light is a constant at around 300,000km/s
Does light travel through empty spaces?
yes it does..
What is waves that can travel through empty space?
light
What does Light waves travel the fastest through?
outer space
Can light waves travel through an empty space?
Yes.
Why does light travel faster through empty space than matter?
It doesn't travel faster through a vacuum. In our Universe there is no such thing as empty space.
What color water does light travel through fastest?
According to the light spectrum, water should travel through a more violet coloured water the fastest. The speed of light through a medium is not governed by its wavelength, so colour is not a factor.
