Light can travel through a vacuum as is evidenced when you see the sun or the moon. Can sound travel through a vacuum also?

No, sounds cannot travel through a vacuum. This is because sound requires a medium to travel through because it requires the vibration of particles to travel and there need to be particles to vibrate for it to travel through.

Is vacuum a medium of light?
Light can travel through vacuum, but it is not a medium.
What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?
light can travel through a vacuum whereas sound cant
Is light an example of 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.
What does light travel faster through?
Light travels fastest through vacuum.
What will light travel through that sound won't?
A vacuum.
Why doesn't light travel through a vacuum?
Light does travel through a vacuum.
Can gases travel through a vacuum?
No. Only light waves can travel through a vacuum.
Is vacuum a medium of light?
Light can travel through vacuum, but it is not a medium.
What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?
light can travel through a vacuum whereas sound cant
Is light an example of 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.
Does light travel at its slowest speed when passing through a vacuum?
No, light is at its fastest in a vacuum.
What evidence do we have that light travel through a vacuum?
You create a vacuum in a lab, and then shine a light through it, and there is experimental proof that light travels through a vacuum. Alternatively, take the fact that light travels through space - if light could not travel through a vacuum, no light from the stars, the moon or the sun would ever reach our planet.
What does light travel faster through?
Light travels fastest through vacuum.
Can polarized light travel through a vacuum?
Why not? Of course it can!
What will light travel through that sound won't?
A vacuum.
Can light and sound travel through vacuum?
Light can. Sound can't.
Will a light wave travel through a vacuum?
Yes. Electromagnetic waves (including light as a special case) are, in fact, the only type of wave which will travel through a vacuum.
