A light wave can travel through space. Otherwise, how would sunlight reach the Earth? Also, light does have wave-like structures, and it is made up of particles called photons.
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 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.
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.
EM waves travel through space between atoms, but are either; reflected, refracted or absorbed by physical matter when they collide. Gravity can also bend the path of EM wave travel.

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

sound wave .
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.
EM waves travel through space between atoms, but are either; reflected, refracted or absorbed by physical matter when they collide. Gravity can also bend the path of EM wave travel.
No, it won't. That's because the concussive blast wave (and sound, too, for that matter) requires a medium to travel through. That medium must conduct (carry or transfer) the energy of the wave. No mechanical medium equals no mechanical wave. However, if there are components of the blast that involve light or other kinds of electromagnetic radiation, those components will travel through the vacuum of space. They will not have the concussive impact that earth-bound waves will have.
A wave is a disturbance that moves through matter or space by transferring energy without transferring matter. Waves can be classified as mechanical waves, such as sound waves and water waves, or electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves.
A wave of kinetic energy requires a medium to travel though.
