Why are light waves are able to travel through vacuum?
Light "waves" are able to travel through a vacuum because light is only halfway "wavy". Light is actually a collection of particles, known as photons. Photons, because they are particles, are able to travel through a vacuum; unlike waves, they don't need a medium to travel from place to place. If you're interested in what I mean by "halfway wavy" look up the quantum particle-wave duality nature of light on Wikipedia.
Why is light able to propagate through empty space as well as through various mediums?
Light is able to propagate through empty space and various mediums because it is an electromagnetic wave that does not require a medium to travel through. This means that light can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, as well as through materials like air, water, and glass.
What type of wave does not need a medium?
An electromagnetic wave does not need a medium. It is able to pass through a vacumn.
Why are light waves able to travel to space?
Light waves are able to travel through space due to their electromagnetic nature. They do not need a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, making them able to travel through the vacuum of space. This property allows light from stars and other celestial objects to reach us on Earth.
Do visible light waves require a medium?
No, they don't. If they did, then light couldn't pass through a vacuum. It would be very dark here, because the light from the sun, moon and stars could not reach Earth through the vacuum of space.
Would you be able to observe the refraction of light if the incident light were perpendicular to the medium?
No, you wouldn't be able to.

Is light able to pass through a suspension?
Yes, light is able to pass through a suspension. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture where particles are temporarily dispersed in a medium, but they are not dissolved. Light can interact with the particles in the suspension, causing it to scatter or be absorbed to some extent, but some of the light can still pass through.
Does the wave nature of light states that light needs a medium through which to travel in different waves?
Light been found as electromagnetic wave does not need any material medium to get propagated. Even in free space (vacuum) it is able to travel.
Why is light able to propagate through empty space as well as through various mediums?
Light is able to propagate through empty space and various mediums because it is an electromagnetic wave that does not require a medium to travel through. This means that light can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space, as well as through materials like air, water, and glass.
Does visible light requrie a medium?
since light wave is electromagnetic wave and is able to travel through vacuum. eg.x-ray gamma ray radio waves etc hence due to the electromagnetic properties of visible light it does not required medium

Which are not able to travel through empty space?
Sound waves and mechanical waves (such as seismic waves) are not able to travel through empty space because they require a medium, like air or water, to travel through. Electromagnetic waves, like light, X-rays, and radio waves, can travel through empty space because they do not need a medium to propagate.
What is transmission in the science of light and how does it impact the propagation of light waves?
Transmission in the science of light refers to the passage of light waves through a medium, such as air, water, or glass. It impacts the propagation of light waves by determining how much of the light is able to pass through the medium without being absorbed or scattered. Higher transmission means more light can pass through, while lower transmission results in more light being absorbed or scattered, affecting the intensity and clarity of the light that reaches an observer.
If the wind blows at the speed of light can light travel through it?
Since you have already postulated the fantasy that the wind is blowing at the speed of light, you might just as well go ahead and decide whether or not you want light to be able to travel through it, then wave the same wand and make it so. There's no evidence that motion of a material medium has any effect on the ability or inability of light to pass through it, so a first pass at this sorcery produces the speculation that the light would have no problem.
