Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy through a vacuum.
was it right?
Yes, that's correct! Electromagnetic waves are unique in that they do not need a medium (such as air, water, or solid material) to travel through, and they can move through a vacuum. Other types of waves, such as water waves and sound waves, require a medium to propagate.
