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.

Light, a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
Which do not travel through empty space?
sound cannot travel through empty space.
Does heat travel through empty space by conduction?
No, there can't be conduction in empty space. Heat may travel through empty space through radiation, though.
Why can sound waves not travel through empty spuce?
Sound waves cannot travel through an empty space because an empty space is usually a vacuum.

Can travel only through some type of matter .can travel either through matter or through empty space?
One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.
Can waves with radiation go through empty spaces?
YES! The sun is a prime example of this. If they couldn't we would freeze.
Which do not travel through empty space?

What do electoromagnetic waves travel through?
The name is "electromagnetic waves". They can travel through empty space, and - depending on the specific frequency - through certain materials. For example, light can travel through glass.
