electromagnetic and gravitational waves
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.
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 can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space. This is because electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate, unlike mechanical waves such as sound waves which rely on a medium such as air or water.
A wave of kinetic energy requires a medium to travel though.

The wave is a disturbance in the electric and magnetic field in space. These fields exist even in empty space.

Type your answer here... yes because of the vibration

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.
can travel through matter
Because an electromagnetic wave is a wave that doesn't oscillate matter, rather it oscillates between electric and magnetic fields, a phenomenon that requires no matter. In fact, the only thing that matter does, with all of its tiny, little electromagnetic fields coming from the atoms inside of it, is slow the wave down.
In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.In empty space, an electromagnetic wave can only travel at one speed - the speed of light.
Light is a wave that travels through space across matter. The same way that waves travel from the center of a pond to the edges when you toss a stone in it.
