Electromagnetic weaves can pass through a vacuum.
Mechanical waves can't pass through a vacuum. Mechanical waves need something to pass through. Space is generally considered a vacuum, with nothing in it to transmit a mechanical wave.
Electromagnetic waves
Long answer: Radio waves, like all EM radiation, can pass through a vacuum. Short answer: Yes.
Electromagnetic waves such as light can pass through material medium such as water, glass etc and at the same time it could pass through vacuum ie a medium of free space.
Yes they can. Sunlight is just such a wave!

Sound waves will travel through gases, liquids, and solids. Sound waves cannot pass through a vacuum.
Any wave that requires a physical medium. Audio (sound pressure) waves, water waves, and "amber waves of grain" are all examples of waves that cannot travel through the vacuum of space.
Only by radiation. Infrared waves waves don't require a material medium to pass through. Heat energy is transmitted even through vacuum in the form of infrared waves. We get heat energy from sun in this way.
Sound waves need to cause vibrations in a medium in order to travel. Vibrations cannot be created in a vacuum, as there is no matter present.
no
Electro magnetic waves can pass through medium of free space ie vacuum but mechanical waves cannot do so. Mechanical waves such as sound definitely needs a material medium air, water etc. But light being electro magnetic could pass through even vacuum. Actually in between the sun and earth there is vacuum. Yet we receive light right from Sun towards earth.
Essentially any matter ( Solid, liquid or gas ) But not in a vacuum (ie in space)
