a wave. Electromagnetic waves (such as light or radio waves) do not need a medium to travel through. Mechanical waves (such as sound waves) require a medium (matter) to travel through.

What is a longitutional wave?

A wave is some sort of disturbance, which propagates through matter or space. If the disturbance is along the direction of the propagation (of the wave movement), the wave is said to be longitudinal. If the disturbance is at a right angle to the wave movement, the wave is said to be transversal.A wave is some sort of disturbance, which propagates through matter or space.
