Both electromagnetic waves and gravity waves can travel through empty space. Gravity waves travel through matter as well; some electromagnetic waves may travel through some types of matter.

What type of energy can travel trough empty space and travels in waves?

Electromagnetic energy can travel through empty space and travels in waves. This includes visible light, radio waves, microwaves, X-rays, and gamma rays.


What does light travel through best empty space or matter?

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.


What travels through empty space and through matter?

One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.


How heat travels through empty space?

Heat travels through empty spaces by radiation.


What kind of wave is able to travel through both matter and empty space?

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.


What state of matter travels through waves?

It depends. Is it a mechanical wave or a electromagnetic wave? Mechanical waves (for example sound waves) travel trough every state of matter and they can't exist without matter. They don't travel through vacuum. Electromagnetic waves travel trough space and get interrupted only by other electromagnetic waves.


Why does light travel faster in empty spaces?

Light travels faster (up to the speed of light) in a vacuum, which is empty space. Light travels slower through a medium (matter).


What is light called that travels through empty space?

Electromagnetic radiation.


Are gases empty space?

No. Gasses are matter.


What is the empty space where gas molecules are not located?

The empty space could be filled with liquid or solid matter.


Why does light travel faster through empty space than matter?

Light travels faster through empty space because there are no particles for it to interact with, whereas in matter, light is constantly being absorbed and re-emitted by particles, slowing it down. In a vacuum, light moves at its maximum speed of about 299,792 kilometers per second.
