Only electromagnetical waves propagate in vacuum, and those aren't waves in the sense most people think of waves, like ocean waves or sound waves. The term "electromagnetical waves" is in some sense a misnomer, a relic from a time when physicists believed that the information carried by the electromagnetical field was transmitted by waves in a medium called "the ether". We now know that this information is carried instead by small bundles of energy, or particles, called photons.
Sound waves cannot propagate in vacuum because they require a medium to travel through such as air, water, or solids. Sound waves propagate through the vibration of particles in the medium, so without a medium to carry the vibrations, sound waves cannot travel in vacuum.
To test if mechanical waves work in a vacuum, you would need to conduct an experiment where you create mechanical waves in a controlled environment that is a vacuum. If the waves can still propagate and be detected in the vacuum, then it shows that mechanical waves can work in a vacuum. If the waves cannot propagate or be detected in the vacuum, then it indicates that mechanical waves do not work in a vacuum.
Sound waves do not travel in a vacuum because they require a medium, such as air, water, or solids, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the sound waves to compress and rarefy, so they cannot propagate.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, can pass through a vacuum because they do not require a medium to propagate. Sound waves, on the other hand, require a material medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through and cannot propagate through a vacuum.
No, explosive shock waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the shock wave to travel through, so it would not propagate.

Sound waves cannot propagate in a vacuum. Sound waves travel through matter, and a vacuum is, by definition, the absence of matter.

No, explosive shock waves require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In a vacuum, there is no medium for the shock wave to travel through, so it would not propagate.
Sound waves do not propagate in a vacuum, since they are basically vibrations (compressions and rarefactions) in a medium, and in a vacuum there is no matter to vibrate.
No, light waves can travel through a vacuum because they are electromagnetic waves. In a vacuum, there are no particles for the waves to interact with, so they can propagate freely.
No, compressional waves require a medium to travel through, so they cannot travel through a vacuum where there is no matter. Sound waves, which are compressional waves, cannot propagate through a vacuum.
Two types of waves are mechanical waves, which require a medium to propagate (e.g. sound waves), and electromagnetic waves, which can propagate through vacuum (e.g. light waves).
Electromagnetic waves, such as light waves and radio waves, can be transmitted in a vacuum because they do not require a medium to travel through. These waves propagate through the vacuum of space and can travel long distances without the need for a medium.
No, sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum because they require a medium (such as air, water, or a solid material) to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there is nothing for the sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.
