Light waves, like all electromagnetic waves, travel without a medium, so they can travel through empty space. Sound waves, on the other hand, do require a medium to travel or propagate; therefore, they can not travel through empty space.
A vacuum.
yes, electomagnetic
Light waves travel fastest through vacuum, at nearly 30 million meters per second. Light travels more slowly through other substances such as air and water, and can be absorbed.

Light energy, like from the sun.
because there is nothing in space to block the light and no barometric pressure
Light travels best through empty space because there are no particles to absorb or scatter the light. In contrast, matter can diminish the speed and intensity of light as it interacts with particles and undergoes absorption and scattering.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space. This is because electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate, unlike mechanical waves such as sound waves which rely on a medium such as air or water.
yes it does..
Light travels fastest through empty spaces, as there are fewer particles to interact with and slow it down. In solids and liquids, the particles are closely packed together, causing light to travel slower. In gases, the particles are more spread out than in solids and liquids, so light travels faster than in those states but slower than in empty spaces.
outer space
According to the light spectrum, water should travel through a more violet coloured water the fastest. The speed of light through a medium is not governed by its wavelength, so colour is not a factor.
No, light is at its fastest in a vacuum.
Light waves can travel through empty spaces. Any type of electromagnetic waves, from below ELF (<< 3 Hz) up through gamma rays (> 30 EHz) can travel through empty space. Visible light is just the one band from 430 THz to 790 THz. The only type of waves that can travel through empty space are electromagnetic waves.
A vacuum.
Yes, light waves can travel through empty space because they do not require a medium to propagate. This is one of the unique characteristics of electromagnetic radiation.
Light can travel faster through a vacuum than through air. In a vacuum, light travels at its maximum speed of about 299,792 kilometers per second. This is because there are no particles in a vacuum to slow down the light's speed.
