If two waves are traveling at the same speed what will be true about their wavelengths?

Nothing in particular. Red light, green light, and FM radio signals all travel at the same speed, but there's no connection among their wavelengths. The sounds of the tuba, guitar, and piccolo all travel at the same speed from the stage to your ear, but there's no particular relationship among their wavelengths. I guess you could say that if two waves are traveling at the same speed through the same medium ... or through the same absence of any medium ... then the waves are both manifestations of the same physical phenomenon or wave-generating process. But that doesn't say anything about their wavelengths.

Can two cars of equal speed have equal velocities?
Yes. If they are traveling in the same direction and at the same speed, then they have the same velocity.
Predict how the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the wave increases?
The wavelength would decrease, w= c/f, if f increases, w decreases.
Can all wavelengths of light travel at the same velocity in certain mediums?
Yes, all wavelengths of light have the same velocity in every medium. In fact, all types of electromagentic radiation travel at the same speed in a given medium.
A car is traveling south at a speed of 68 miles per hour and then begins traveling at a speed of 69 miles per hour but continues traveling in the same direction What has changed?
Both the speed and velocity have increased as a result of acceleration.
What is the speed of 1000 waves travels 300 meters with 200 hertz?
Speed = frequency x wavelength. 200 hertz = 200 waves per second. These 200 waves will have a speed of 200*300 = 60,000 m/s The 1000 waves will have the same speed but it will take 5 times longer to travel the 300 metres.
How the wavelengths of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increase?
The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.
Why do waves of different wavelengths travel at the same speed?
All light travel at the same speed.
If Two sound waves traveling through the air have different frequencies they must also have different?
they have different wavelengths the higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength. the speed is the same
Are the speed of ultrasonic and audible sound wave same?
Traveling in the same medium, they have the same speed - just different frequencies (and wavelengths).
Do waves traveling at the same speed must have the same frequency?
There is insufficient information for us to even begin to understand this question. Please edit the question to include more context or relevant information. It would help to know what you want to know about waves that travel at the same speed!
What is constant in electromagnetic waves?
The speed is constant, at least for EM waves in a vacuum. The speed will still be approximately the same in other media, e.g. in glass. Different waves can have different frequences or wavelengths, but the speed will be the same.
Does speed of light increase as the wavelength of a light wave increase?
No. All wavelengths of light, and all other forms of electromagnetic waves too, all travelat the same speed, just as long as they remain traveling through the same stuff.
Gamma rays faster than radio waves?
No. Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves and travel at the same speed. They just have different wavelengths/frequencies.
How the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the waves increases?
The wavelength would decrease - in inverse proportion.
Do ultraviolet waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum?
Ultraviolet and visible light waves all travel at the same speed whenever they're all traveling through the same material.
Why does it take the same time for gamma waves and light waves to travel from a star to space telescope?
Because electromagnetic radiation at all wavelengths travels through vacuum at the same speed.
In any one material all electromagnectic waves have the same?
In any one material all electromagnetic waves have the same velocity. Electromagnetic waves traveling through a medium travel at the same speed.
