EM waves (..light, radio, xrays, etc.,..) can move through a perfect vacuum.
Sounds waves can't because sound requires a medium like air to propogate.

yes and no. Sound is a compression wave in a material. There ain't no material in a perfect vacuum. Em waves travel nicely through vacuum at the speed of light.... which is why we can see the stars.

No,sound waves can not shuttle by using area as sound wave is a transverse wave and it demands cloth medium to propagate. on condition that there's no medium interior the area so there's no vibrations happening through which there's no flow of power.

sound waves no, because they have nothing to vibrate in
