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 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.
How are electromagnetic or light waves different from water and sound waves?
Light waves and electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. Water waves can only travel through matter. Hope this helped!
Do radiant energy need a matter to travel?
No. As an example, the light from the Sun travels through empty space to reach us.
What is waves that can travel through empty space?
light

What is an empty space that contains no matter that light can travel through?
A vacuum.

Does light travel through empty spaces?
yes it does..

light
Can light waves travel through an empty space?
Yes.
What kinds of energy travel through matter?
Heat and light energy travel through space and matter
Does light waves travel fastest through empty space?
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 example of a wave that can travel through empty spaces?
Light waves can travel through empty spaces. Any type of electromagnetic waves, from below ELF (<< 3 Hz) up through gamma rays (> 30 EHz) can travel through empty space. Visible light is just the one band from 430 THz to 790 THz. The only type of waves that can travel through empty space are electromagnetic waves.
