Light travels fastest through 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.
That is electromagnetic energy; radio waves, infra-red, light, ultra violet, x-rays etc.
some light travels through=translucent
It travels in a straight line but also it travels through empty space ! 😅

Light travels through two things: either empty space, or space which contains transparent materials. Some paterials are only partially transparent or translucent, in which case some light does travel through it, but not all the light will get through.
Light travels faster (up to the speed of light) in a vacuum, which is empty space. Light travels slower through a medium (matter).
That is electromagnetic energy; radio waves, infra-red, light, ultra violet, x-rays etc.

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.
when light rays mave from one medium to another such as from air to water
Light travels though a medium called "space-time" and can also travel through transparent and translucent physical materials.
