Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.

Are all sound waves the same?
no
Do all sound waves carry the same amount of energy?
Yes
Do all sound waves have the same wave length but different frequencies?
no
If four sound waves reached a source at the same time what do the waves wave do not have in common 1 amplitude 2 frequency 3speed 4 wavelenght?
First of all, sound waves propagate away from the source, not toward it.Next, if four sound waves reached the same point at the same time, there's no reasonwhy they couldn't all have the same amplitude, frequency, speed, and wavelength.Next question ?
What are sound waves that are musical differ in what from other sound waves?
Your perception. All sound is the result of a medium being compressed at different levels. Speakers can produce noise, static and music all with the same action.
What characteristics do all sound waves have?
Sound waves are LONGITUDINAL. This means the direction of the particles is the same as the direction of the wave. Sound waves are a series of compressions (areas of high density) and rarefactions (areas of low pressure). All sound waves are caused by vibrations. They only travel if there is a medium for them to travel along, therefore there is no sound in space, or in a vacuum as it cannot travel.
What can sound waves get transferred through materials?
All sound waves can do that.
What kind of waves are all sound waves?
transverse
Are sound waves transverse waves while light waves are longitudinal waves or are all sound waves and light waves longitudinal waves?
Light waves are transverse.Sound waves may be transverse or longitudinal. Sound in gases can only be longitudinal.
How are sound waves and water waves?
Two main ways. First water waves are essentially two dimensional, i.e. on the surface of water, and sound waves are three dimensional - they (generally) spread out in all directions from the source of the sound. Second water waves are up and down undulations in the water, and are therefore at right angles to the direction of motion (transverse waves). Sound waves are compressions and rarefactions in the same direction as the direction of motion (longitudinal waves).
What evidence is there that sound waves are all electromagnetic in nature?
I think you are confusing something. Sound waves, and electromagnetic waves, are two different types of waves.
What wave that need a medium in order to propagate?
All sound waves, be that ultrasound or audible sound. Likewise water waves...
