Waves are disturbances that propagate through space and time. Classically, they travelled through a medium, disturbing the particles but not changing their mean position. Electromagnetic waves/particle-waves need no medium; they are disturbances in their respective fields.

Couldn't understand the reasoning on the propagation of the electromagnetic wave in the vacuum?
The solution of the wave function in vacuum gives two progressive plane waves $f(x-ct)+g(x+ct)$, which both represent solutions to the wave equation. … Since $E$ is static, the wave is not propagating, but it is still transverse, as the two progressive plane waves are perpendicular to each other. …
