There are two types of waves, mechanical and electromagnetic. Mechanical waves need to have a medium to go through in order to even exits. these mediums can include water, dirt, air, metal, glass, plastic, wood, etc. electromagnetic waves travel through just about anything and do not have to have a medium to exist.

Hope this helps T.M.M :-)
