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!

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
How the wave length of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequancy of the waves increased?
Decreased. f (frequency) times wl (wave length) = a constant (the speed of light) thus if one goes up the other MUST come down.
How is the frequency of a wave related to its wavelength?
wavelength I will call lambda, frequency I will call f If f and lambda are the same then the velocities of the waves would be the same becuase v= lambda*f You know nothing about their phase angles or the amplitude of the waves though.
If the frequency of the waves produced by a vibrating object increases how does the wavelength of the waves produce change?
As all EM waves do a constant speed ('c'). If the frequency increases (i.e. the waves are more frequent) the distance between the wave peaks (wavelength) must reduce. For visible light waves, this produces a 'blue shift.'
What will happen to the waves frequency if its wavelength is made twice as long?
The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is always the same number ... the wave's speed. So if one of them doubles, the other one must drop by half.

What does it mean for something to have wavelike properties?
Waves are characterized by wavelength, frequency, and speed. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave. The frequency is defined as the number of waves (cycles) per second that pass a given space. Since all types of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light, short-wavelength radiation must have a high frequency and long-wavelength radiation must have a low frequency.

If the of waves increase its frequency must decrease?
period
What happens to the speed of the waves if the frequency of the wave source is halved?
The wavelength of a wave would double if the frequency was cut in half. Wavelength=c/frequency where c equals the speed of light.
When there are more more waves passing through the reference point in a period what happens to the wavelength of the wave?
With the wave speed is constant, and the number of cycles which pass a reference point increases, the frequency must increase. With higher frequency and constant speed, the wavelength decreases.
What will happen to the waves frequency if its wavelength is made twice as long?
The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is always the same number ... the wave's speed. So if one of them doubles, the other one must drop by half.
Does the wavelength decrease as the frequency of wave increases?
Yes for e-m waves. speed of light = freq x wavelength since their product must always equal a constant (the speed of light) if one increases the other must decrease.
What is the frequency of a light wave with a wavelength of 650?
The velocity of the light waves must be given before the frequency can be find.
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.
