No. Electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum ( ie space where there is nothing)
Which waves travel through water?
all waves travel through water, some better than others, sound waves travel very well. Many time because water is denser than air the waves are subject to diffraction and reflection off thermal boundaries and around physical barriers.
What are the electromagnetic waves that can travel through the vacuum of space?
Tranverse waves.
Is it true. When waves travel through a medium they carry the medium with them?
No.
Do seismic waves need a medium to travel through?
Seismic, or earthquake waves travel through the earth. They may travel through our crust, which is rocky, or through the more fluid parts, like the mantle, but the medium is the earth.
How mechanical and electromagnetic wave are different?
