light waves, because they travel by oscillating electromagnetic fields

Answer 1

None of these responses are correct.

The correct answer is: sound waves, because they require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through. Light waves, on the other hand, can travel through a vacuum and do not require a medium.
