No, it does not. It can travel through any open space. Sound, unlike light, needs a medium to travel. So light can travel through outer space but sound cannot because there is no medium.
Yes, light can travel through space because it does not need a medium to propagate.
No, only surface and mechanical waves need a medium, compressional waves can travel through space. (Such as light from the Sun).I think light (EM) waves are the only ones that can travel through a vacuum. Sound waves require a medium.
Light can travel in a vacuum without the need for a medium. This is because light is composed of photons which do not require a medium, unlike other types of waves such as sound waves that do need a medium to propagate.
Yes, transverse waves require a medium to travel through. Examples include water waves, which need water as a medium, and electromagnetic waves such as light, which can travel through a vacuum.
Mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer the energy of the wave. Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves, do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Yes, light can travel through space because it does not need a medium to propagate.
Light waves do not need a medium to propagate. Sound waves cannot travel without a medium. Light waves always travel at the speed of light that is 3*108m/s.

Light can travel in a vacuum without the need for a medium. This is because light is composed of photons which do not require a medium, unlike other types of waves such as sound waves that do need a medium to propagate.
Mechanical waves such as sound and vibration require a medium in which to travel. Electromagnetic waves such as radio and light need no transmission medium.

Sound waves need a medium to travel through - the medium may be solid, liquid, or gaseous. Electromagnetic waves (including light) can also travel through empty space.
Light is composed of particles called photons that can travel through empty space because they do not require a medium to propagate. This is due to the wave-particle duality of light, where it behaves both as a wave and a particle, allowing it to travel through vacuum without the need for a medium like air or water.
No. Electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum ( ie space where there is nothing)
No, radio waves do not need a medium to travel through. They are a type of electromagnetic wave that can travel through a vacuum, such as space. They can also travel through other mediums, such as air or water.
No. It is radiation, not vibration. As electromagnetic energy, it can travel through a vacuum, and only through transparent or translucent material.
