Definitely. The electric field doesn't need any substance there
to carry it from one place to another.
Basically, light is NOT a mechanical wave, which would require matter; it is an electromagnetic wave, which means that disturbances in the electric field and the magnetic field propagate. This requires no matter; such fields exist - and can propagate - in empty space.
electric field lines represents electric field at that point but if it has break somewhere then it signifies the absence of electric field and it is not possible.....
TEM TE modes (Transverse Electric) have no electric field in the direction of propagation. * TM modes (Transverse Magnetic) have no magnetic field in the direction of propagation. * TEM modes (Transverse ElectroMagnetic) have no electric nor magnetic field in the direction of propagation. * Hybrid modes are those which have both electric and magnetic field components in the direction of propagation
Not really. You could have both an electric field and a magnetic field occupying the same space at the same time but they wouldn't 'make the definition' of electromagnetic until they began to fluxuate in phase at a harmonized frequency.
The net electric field inside a dielectric decreases due to polarization. The external electric field polarizes the dielectric and an electric field is produced due to this polarization. This internal electric field will be opposite to the external electric field and therefore the net electric field inside the dielectric will be less.
An electric field can exist even without the presence of a magnetic field. An example of this is a stationary electric field.

The wave is a disturbance in the electric and magnetic field in space. These fields exist even in empty space.

Electric fields exist everywhere there is an electrical potential difference between one place and another. A simple radio antenna has an alternating electric field from one end of an element to the other.

E field does not exist within the conductor, because the charge exists on the surface. This is not true for non conductors.
Light is self-propagating because it consists of electromagnetic waves that do not need a medium to travel through. When an electric field changes, it generates a magnetic field, which in turn generates an electric field and so on, creating a self-sustaining wave that can travel through empty space.
