Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy can "move" in various ways:

- Conduction

- Convection

- Radiation

Radiation relies on propagation of Electromagnetic Radiation; basically waves, such as light, x-rays, u-v or infrared, are electromagnetic waves that transport energy.

These waves can travel through vacuum because they do not need a material medium (as in sound waves) to propagate but are a perturbation of the electromagnetic field.

Each wave will carry energy in the form of...packets called Photons (kind of a rain of "droplets" of light!!!).
