Depends what you understand by "material medium". You certainly don't need any matter. Both electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves travel through empty space (and of course, both transmit energy).
The medium of any wave is the material that the wave energy travels through; in this case water.
Known as material medium
Medium
Heat is a form of energy. Atoms of a certain material begin to tremble very fast when heated and pass this movement on to other atoms. So I think -not shure, heat/ energy can only be passed through material, and so it is not possible in a vacuum.
Light energy.
No, wave energy can also be transmitted through a vacuum, as seen with electromagnetic waves like light. These waves do not require a material medium for propagation, unlike mechanical waves such as sound waves.

Sound energy is transmitted as mechanical waves that propagate through a medium such as air, water, or solids. Light energy, on the other hand, is transmitted as electromagnetic waves that do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
When light is transmitted through a medium, it means that the light passes through the substance without being absorbed or reflected, allowing it to travel through the material.
When electromagnetic (EM) waves encounter a material medium, they can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected depending on the properties of the medium. The interaction between the EM waves and the medium can result in effects such as refraction, dispersion, or attenuation of the waves as they pass through the material. The behavior of EM waves in a material medium is determined by factors like the frequency of the waves, the composition of the material, and the electrical properties of the medium.
A wave is a periodic disturbance in a solid, liquid, or gas as energy is transmitted through a medium. Waves can be classified as mechanical waves, which require a medium to travel through, or electromagnetic waves, which do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Light can be reflected when it bounces off a surface, refracted when it changes direction while passing through a different medium, transmitted when it passes through a material without being absorbed, and absorbed when its energy is taken in by a material, converting it into other forms of energy such as heat.
Sound energy is transmitted through a medium, such as air, water, or solid materials. As the sound waves travel through the medium, they cause particles to vibrate, carrying the sound energy from the source to the listener.
Light can be transmitted through a vacuum without the need for a medium, such as in outer space. However, in material mediums like air, water, or glass, light can also be transmitted through a process of absorption and re-emission of photons by the atoms in the medium.
The only way energy can be transmitted is through radiation. Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves, such as light or heat, and does not require a medium to travel through like conduction or convection.
Sound energy is transmitted as mechanical waves that propagate through a medium (such as air or water) by causing particles to vibrate. Light energy is transmitted as electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium in order to propagate.
A medium is a substance or material through which waves can propagate. It allows energy to be transmitted without the particles of the medium undergoing a net displacement. Examples of mediums include air for sound waves and water for ocean waves.
