Transferring energy through empty space is called radiation.

There are three types of energy transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Radiation is the only energy transfer that does not require a medium.

Radiation is a wave of pure energy; one example of radiation is the sunlight that reaches Earth, which is electromagnetic radiation.

Can mechanical waves transfer energy through empty space?

No, mechanical waves require a medium, such as air or water, to transfer energy. Without a medium to propagate through, mechanical waves cannot transfer energy through empty space. Electromagnetic waves, however, can transfer energy through empty space.

The transfer of energy that does not require matter is called radiation. Radiation can propagate through empty space, such as in the form of electromagnetic waves like light or heat.


Can waves transfer energy through liquids and solids but not through gases or empty space?

Some waves can transfer energy only through liquids and solids, but not through gases or vacuum. Some waves, like sound waves, can transfer energy through gases, liquids and solids but not through vacuum. And some waves, notably electromagnetic waves, can transfer energy through vacuum as well as matter.
