What travels through a vacuum?
Energy. Light and radio waves etc.
Can an electrical wave travel through space and matter?
Yes. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, and air is an example of matter. When you see something, the light from that object is being reflected from a source off it, or perhaps the object itself emits light (candle, light bulb, sun). It travels through the air to your eye. Another example is FM radio.. that travels through air as well. Light travels through water as well.
Does radiation need matter to transfer heat?
No. Heat radiation is electromagnetic radiation, like radio or light. Notice that we receive vast amounts of heat from the sun yet that heat travels mainly through empty space.
Does an electromagnetic wave use matter to transfer energy?
No, an electromagnetic wave does not require matter (a medium) to transfer energy. Electromagnetic energy (like light or radio waves) travels perfectly well in the vacuum of space. In contrast, a mechanical wave, of which sound is an example, does require a medium through which to travel.
What form of energy is travels through space?
Radiated energy of: light heat radio microwaves x-rays cosmic rays gamma rays and so on.
What travels through a vacuum?
Energy. Light and radio waves etc.
How heat travels through a vacumm?
Heat travels through vacuum as electromagnetic radiation, exactly the same way that light and radio do.
Through what medium does light travel?
Light travels through a vacuum, and through the densest metals (though not usually very far). But then gamma radiation and radio waves are examples of light...

How does the speed of light compare to the speed of radio waves?
light travels faster than radio wavws

Waves that do not requir matter to carry energy through space?
Radio waves and light waves.

Is it correct to say that in every case any radio wave travels faster than any sound wave?
Yes. Radio is a form of electromagnetic wave, so it travels at the speed of light. Since sound requires a physical medium and it is (theoretically) impossible for matter to attain the speed of light, the speed of sound can never be equal to/above the speed of light, and this statement is correct.
What is the speed of a satellite signal?
A satellite signal will be a radio signal. And a radio signal in space travels at the speed of light.
What form of energy travels through space?
Radiated energy of: light heat radio microwaves x-rays cosmic rays gamma rays and so on.
What form of energy is travels through space?
