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.

Which row shows what happens to the temperature of a solid as it melts and what happens to the temperature when
frez [133]

When ice melts, its temperature doesn't change ... ice at 32 degrees becomes water at 32 degrees.

When water boils, its temperature doesn't change ... water at 212 degrees becomes steam at 212 degrees.

The row that says both of these is row-D .
