Answer:

Light waves do not need a medium in which to travel but sound waves do. Explain that unlike sound, light waves travel fastest through a vacuum and air, and slower through other materials such as glass or water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Light travels in a straight line as a wave. It does not require any medium or material to travel like sound waves which means it can travel in vacuum.The speed of the light from the special theory of relativity is a constant value of 38x10^8m/second
