Electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum at the speed of light. Whether that electromagnetic wave is a radio wave, a microwave, light, an X-ray or a gamma ray, it will move through a vacuum at a fixed speed -- the speed of light. We use c to indicate this speed, and it's about 186,282 miles per second, or exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. A link can be found below for more information.
It depends on what they're traveling through. If they're traveling through vacuum,
then it's what we call the "speed of light" but it's really the speed of all electromagnetic
waves:
299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second.
If they're traveling through some material substance, such as air, water, glass, jello, etc.,
then the speed is a little less.
Approximately 300 million meters (186 thousand miles) per second.

electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum while water waves travel in water.

Electromagnetic waves are waves which can travel through the vacuum of outer space.

They travel at the same speed of light that is 299,792,458 msec-1
300,000 kilometers/second, or 300,000,000 meters/second.
The biggest difference is that mechanical waves require a medium to travel through and electromagnetic waves do not.
That would be electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.
