Lots of things are true; for example:
* Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.* Sometimes, but not always, they can also travel through other materials. It depends on the material and on the frequency of the wave.
* In a vacuum, they will always travel at the same speed - the so-called speed of light.
For more information about electromagnetic wave, I suggest you read some other sources, for instance, the corresponding Wikipedia article.

How are all electromagnetic wave alike?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed.
What are electromagnetic waves that can travel through space?
Any electromagnetic wave can travel through space, and they all do.
Can macnetic waves travel at the speed of ligth?
Light is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. Electric and magnetic waves don't travel on their own - the wave travels as a combined electric and magnetic wave.
Which kind of electromagnetic wave travels fastest in a vacum?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in vacuum.
What is the fastest that an electromagnetic wave can travel?
The fastest that an electromagnetic wave can travel is 299,792,458 meters per second.That's the "speed of light" ... and all other electromagnetic radiation ... in vacuum.
Why does a vacuum and a electromagnetic wave travels the same speed?
A vacuum doesn't travel. All electromagnetic wavestravel at the same speed in vacuum.
Which light wave has the fastest speed?
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in vacuum.
Why does a wave travel a medium?
Waves do not need a medium all time.it depends like u need no medium when it is electromagnetic wave.
What type of wave is a light wave an example of?
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
What are the four properties of electromagnetic waves?
An electromagnetic wave consists of alternating magnetic and electric fields at right angles to each other. All electromagnetic waves travel at a speed of 3x108 m/sec in air. They all undergo diffraction, interference and reflection. They can travel in a vacuum and they all transmit energy from one place to another. They are actually a type of transverse wave in which the direction of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of the movement causing it.
Can infrared waves travel in all directions?
Yes. Just like any other electromagnetic wave can.
Is it true that a vacuum different color of light travel at different speeds?
No, that is not true. In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed.
