It will be firstly transverse waves..
Transverse waves are like the sine function (snake like) and can travel through a vacuum. Light is an example of a transverse wave.
Longitudinal waves (like sound) need a medium (like air) to travel through. Think of a slinky lying on a table and moving one end back & forth along the length. That is a longitudinal wave.
This is why (sound vibrating air) a sound wave can go down your earhole & vibrate your ear drum so that you can hear it.
Without air (or water etc) to vibrate, sound cannot travel, which is why sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
