If there's matter then its not a vacuum. But an EM wave can transverse either.

Can electromagnetic waves travel through matter through a vacuum?

Electromagnetic waves such as light can pass through material medium such as water, glass etc and at the same time it could pass through vacuum ie a medium of free space.


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.


A wave that travels trough empty space or matter?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through empty space as they do not require a medium to propagate. They consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that carry energy from one place to another. Sound waves, on the other hand, require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through.


What kinds of energy travel through matter?

Mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic energy can travel through matter. Mechanical energy involves the movement of objects or particles within a substance. Thermal energy is the movement of heat through matter. Electromagnetic energy, such as light or radio waves, can also pass through various types of material.


Electromagnetic waves are mad by vibrating elecrical charges that travel through space or matter?

Electromagnetic waves are a form of energy that result from the vibration of electrically charged particles. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that can travel through vacuum or matter at the speed of light.

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.

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 is the difference between mechanical and electromagnetic waves with regard to travel?

Mechanical waves need some kind of material to transmit through. They involve the shaking and passing of energy through matter. Electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to travel through. Outer space is considered a vaccuum, there is no matter to shake back and forth to create a wave. This is why electromagnetic waves can travel through solids, liquids, and why they travel faster.
