Yes. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, and air is an example of matter. When you see something, the light from that object is being reflected from a source off it, or perhaps the object itself emits light (candle, light bulb, sun). It travels through the air to your eye. Another example is FM radio.. that travels through air as well. Light travels through water as well.

What is the energy that can travel through empty space or through matter?
Electromagnetic energy, such as light and radio waves, can travel through empty space or through matter. This type of energy does not require a medium to propagate and can travel vast distances through the vacuum of space.
Does electrical energy travel as waves?
Electromagnetic energy travels by waves. These waves can travel through space and through many types of matter. Electrical energy of sufficient voltage can arc through space and some matter (lightening for example). More commonly, electrical energy travels through conducting media such as wires of copper. AC electricity could be considered a wave, but not in the same sense as electromagnetic energy.
A wave that can travel through empty space or through matter?
An electromagnetic wave can travel through empty space or through matter. Examples include light, radio waves, and X-rays. These waves do not require a medium for propagation.
What kind of wave can travel only through matter?
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
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.
Can travel only through some type of matter .can travel either through matter or through empty space?
One example would be X-Rays. They are stopped by Lead, but travel through other matter and empty space.
Why cant you get energy from the sun through convection?
Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.

What to waves travel through?
Sound waves travel through matter. The only thing it doesn't travel through is vacuums or outer space.
Do sounds travel through space?
Not unless there's some material matter in the space.
What is an empty space that contains no matter that light can travel through?
A vacuum.

Can travel though empty space?
Yes, you can travel through empty space. The Sun, Earth, moon, satellites, space ships, atoms, and subatomic particles all travel through empty space. Greater than 99.999% of matter is empty space.
