Yes, electromagnetic can travel without medium.

Mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves are two important ways that energy is transported in the world around us.

Waves in water and sound waves in air are two examples of mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves are caused by a disturbance or vibration in matter, whether solid, gas, liquid, or plasma.

Matter that waves are traveling through is called a medium.

These mechanical waves travel through a medium by causing the molecules to bump into each other, like falling dominoes transferring energy from one to the next.

Sound waves cannot travel in the vacuum of space because there is no medium to transmit these mechanical waves.

On the other hand electromagnetic waves don't require medium for its propagation.

An easy example would be light which is an EM wave reaches earth even though space has no medium.

Explain why you can only change one variable in an experiment
ohaa [14]
The purpose of an experiment is to LEARN the EFFECT of something.

The way you do that is to CHANGE the thing and see what happens.

You can change as many things as you want to.  But If you change
TWO things and observe the result, then you don't know which one
of them caused the effect you see. 

Or maybe BOTH of them working together caused it.  You don't know. 

So your experiment is not really much good.  You need to do it again.
