Yes, but only electromagnetic waves, such as visible light or radio waves. Mechanical waves like sound require a medium to travel.
The type of wave that requires a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum is called a mechanical wave.
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave, which can travel through a vacuum. Mechanical waves must travel through a medium, and cannot travel through a vacuum.
The ability to travel through a vacuum is a key characteristic of electromagnetic waves, while mechanical waves require a medium to travel through, such as air or water. This distinction can help determine whether a wave is electromagnetic or mechanical.
No, a radio wave is not an example of a mechanical wave. A mechanical wave requires a medium to travel through, such as water or air, while a radio wave can travel through a vacuum because it is an electromagnetic wave.
Since an earthquake or seismic wave is a pressure or force wave (like sound waves), it requires a material in which to propagate. So, no earthquake waves can travel through a vacuum.

yes, they can travel.
Yes, any electromagnetic wave can travel through a vacuum.

Sound waves cannot travel through the vacuum of space because they require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves, can travel through the vacuum of space because they do not require a medium.
No, ultrasound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound wave to travel through, so it cannot propagate.
Yes. Light is a self-propagating wave that does not need a medium to flow. Thus, light has the ability to travel through a vacuum.
A mechanical wave cannot transmit energy through a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the wave to travel through, so it cannot transfer energy.
