Electromagnetic waves travel as streams of particles, thus being able to move through a vacuum. For example, light reaches the earth from the sun and other far away stars.
You can compare this with sound waves which requires a medium such as air or water to travel through.
yes, they travel through water, air, even solid materials. electromagnetic waves can also travel through a vacuum.
Electromagnetic eaves are waves that can travel through the vacuum of outer space. Microwaves, x-rays, and TV are all kinds of electromagnetic waves.
No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.

No. Only light waves can travel through a vacuum.
Vacuum
yes, they can travel.
Radiation can travel through empty space. The radiation in question is electromagnetic waves.
Mechanical waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves transfer energy through the vibration of particles in the medium, while electromagnetic waves consist of changing electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space.
An electromagnetic wave is a type of wave that consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation. These waves can travel through a vacuum and encompass a wide spectrum of frequencies, including radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and X-rays.
Yes. Light IS electromagnetic waves.
Sound waves require a medium, such as air, to travel through. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the sound waves to travel through, so there is no way for the waves to reach your ears and be processed as sound.
