They travel through a material medium.
The material through which waves travel is called a medium. This could be a solid, liquid, or gas.

Electromagnetic Waves can travel through space without any material medium.
Light can travel through transparent and translucent glass.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can travel through space because they do not require a medium to propagate. These waves can travel through the vacuum of space and do not need a material substance to carry them.
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material like metal or concrete. The medium acts as a carrier for the sound waves to propagate.
Sound waves travel through a material by causing particles in the material to vibrate back and forth in the direction of the wave. The disturbance created by these vibrations passes from one particle to the next, transmitting the sound energy through the material. The speed of sound in a material depends on the density and elasticity of the material.
Sound waves can travel through any compressible material (which means any real material), be it solid, liquid, or gas. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.
Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through gases, liquids, and solids. They are seismic waves that are the fastest and can propagate through any material, including the Earth's atmosphere.
Sound creates waves in a material- compression waves. These waves are transmitted through the atoms/molecules in the material to the receiver. The denser a material is, the more effectively sound may travel; this is because the sound waves are transmitted more easily through the tightly packed molecules.
Electromagnetic waves do not affect matter as they travel through it. This includes light waves and radio waves, which can pass through materials without interacting with the particles that make up the material.
The relationship between the wavelength in a dielectric material and the propagation of electromagnetic waves is that the wavelength of electromagnetic waves decreases when they travel through a dielectric material compared to when they travel through a vacuum. This is due to the slower speed of light in the dielectric material, which causes the waves to be compressed and have a shorter wavelength.
