Can two waves have the same wavelength but different amplitudes?
no they cant they have to be the same they complete each other
What are two sound waves with the same frequencies and different amplitudes?
Same pitch but with different loudness
How are light waves and sound waves the same?
Wavelength (represented by the Greek letter lambda) is inversely proportional to frequency. Two waves may have different amplitudes but identical wavelengths if they have identical frequencies. Further, a sine wave and a square or sawtooth wave may have the same wavelength even though they do not look similar and have different amplitudes, as long as their frequencies are identical.
How can two different types of waves have the same wavelength?
Yes, they can.
Can waves with different wavelength be coherent?
No. In order to be coherent, the light waves have to be in phase and stay in phase, and the only way for that to happen is for them to have the same wavelength and frequency.

Are waves with a shorter wavelength different from those with a longer wavelength?
No, they're all waves, they're all the same!

What happens when destructive interference between waves with different amplitudes?
It depends on the frequency of the waves. Are we assuming here that one wave is acting as destructive interference to another wave?. If they have the same frequency, then the amplitudes should combine to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude than the original (two?) waves. Otherwise your results will vary.
2 wave have the same frequency the faster of the two waves will have what?
Wavelength x frequency = velocity, so if the frequency is the same for two waves moving at different velocities, the faster wave must have a longer wavelength.
Can two waves have the same wavelength but different amplitude explain?
Imagine this... Take a smooth pond of water. Take a small pebble and toss it into the pond. Take notice of the ripples created, both the frequency and amplitude. Now take a larger rock and toss it into the smooth pond. Take notice of the ripples it creates. The same frequency with a larger amplitude. The stronger source created larger amplitude waves. This is how two waves can have the same frequency but different amplitudes - a stronger source power.
Cant the frequency of 2 waves with different wave lengths be equal?
Only if their speeds are different.(Wavelength) multiplied by (frequency) = speed of the waveIf the speeds are the same, then different wavelength means different frequency.
If two waves with equal amplitudes and wavelengths travel?
This question isn't finished...hard to answer, but if two waves with the same amplitude and wavelength travel together, and their phases are lined up exactly, they will combine to form one stronger wave with twice the amplitude, but still the same wavelength. If the phases are off by 180 degrees (hopefully you know what that means, if not, then think of a sine or cosine curve, if that helps, anyway:), then the waves will cancel each other out and cease to exist.
How the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the waves increases?
The wavelength would decrease - in inverse proportion.
