Answer:

EM (electromagnetic) Waves

Step-by-step explanation:

Light Waves (AKA EM waves) can travel through both matter and empty space. Light waves transmit energy by compressing the particles in mediums. Light waves can travel with and without mediums.

*light waves are the same as electromagnetic waves, they are the same thing*

Answer:

An electromagnetic wave

Step-by-step explanation:

An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave that can travel across space as well as through matter. When it travels through space, it doesn't lose energy to a medium as a mechanical wave does.
