Answer:

Elctromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.

Step-by-step explanation:

Waves that may pass through matter or empty space are known as electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic field, like the other basic fields, penetrates the whole universe, including the region we refer to as empty space. There are no fields in space. The medium through which electromagnetic waves travel is called the electromagnetic field.
