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.
Yes. Light IS electromagnetic waves.
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.
