You mean longitudinal wave by compression wave?
Electromagnetic wave is transverse in nature. It does not need a material medium. It can pass even through vacuum. But compression waves bady needs a material medium.
A transverse wave is one where the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, like a wave on a string. A compression wave, or longitudinal wave, is where the oscillations are parallel to the direction of wave propagation, like sound waves in air.
A transverse wave displaces particles perpendicular to the wave's direction of propagation, like ocean waves. A compression wave displaces particles parallel to the wave's direction of propagation, like sound waves.
A mechanical wave requires a medium (such as air or water) to travel through, while an electromagnetic wave can travel through a vacuum (like space) because it does not need a medium.
An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.An ultrasonic wave is not an electromagnetic wave; it is a sound wave.
No, the distance between one compression and the next compression in a longitudinal wave is its wavelength, not its amplitude. The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a particle from its rest position as the wave passes through it.

No difference at all. Radio waves are one of many types of electromagnetic waves.

Light is an electromagnetic wave.

That is called the wavelength.
There are no purely magnetic waves.
The distance between two peaks in an electromagnetic wave is called the wavelength. It is typically measured in meters.
The energy of an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its frequency. This means that as the frequency of the wave increases, so does its energy.
