Can the speed and frequency of the waves in a spring be changed?

All violinists believe so. The springs (= violin string) properties of frequency and timbre can be altered by the pressure of the bow against the string.
Even in a simple coiled spring, you'll find the period of the pluck waves will change as the spring is elongated. But the purist will point out (correctly) that it is now a different spring.
My favourite demonstration is of a rubber band about 200 mm long, with a mass at the lower end. This spring+mass apparatus has at least three resonant periods!
First is that of a simple pendulum.
Second is that of a torsional resonance (much slower).
Third is that of the vertical oscillation of a spring-mass system.

When working with waves frequency x equals speed?
When working with waves ... or even just talking about them ... (frequency) = (speed) divided by (wavelength) (wavelength) = (speed) divided by (frequency) (frequency) times (wavelength) = (speed)
What affect if any does increasing the speed of the plunger have on the frequency of the waves?
Increasing the speed of the plunger will increase the frequency of the waves.
A wave travels at 3 ms along a spring toy If the wavelength is 02 m what is the waves frequency?
Frequency = speed / wavelength = 3/0.2 = 15 Hertz
How does a waves speed relate to its wavelength and frequency?
The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is the speed.
How does speed affect the frequency of reflected waves?
The Doppler Effect describes a frequency shift in reflected waves in proportion to the relative speed between the receiver and the reflected object. For instance, in a radar speed trap, the frequency shift in reflected radio waves allows the unit to calculate the speed toward (higher frequency) or away from (lower frequency) the transmitter/receiver unit. When you drive past a steady noise source, such a bell or a horn, the sound has a higher frequency as you approach and a lower frequency as you depart.

How does frequency apply to periodic waves?
Periodic waves are characterized by a frequency, a wavelength, and by their speed.

Frequency = speed / wavelength = 3/0.2 = 15 Hertz
How does a waves speed relate to its wavelength and frequency?

What is the formila for frequency in waves?
Frequency = Speed/Wave length.
How would the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed 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.
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.
