Why are electromagnetic waves different from sound and water waves?

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through, unlike sound and water waves which need a material medium. Electromagnetic waves also travel at the speed of light and can travel through a vacuum. Additionally, electromagnetic waves have different properties such as wavelength, frequency, and polarization compared to sound and water waves.


Do electromagnetic waves travel through empty space?

Yes, electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. This is because they do not require a medium to propagate, unlike sound waves which need a medium (such as air) to travel through. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, allowing them to move through space.
