1) Here is a link to notes on wave speed. It shows how mechanical properties of medium affect wave speed.

Make sure you read the notes on rotational and harmonic motion posted about 12/30.
2) Wave Lab. Think carefully about this: if you send F pulses per second into the heavy spring, and assuming the pulses don't get lost along the way through friction with the floor, how many pulses per second reach the light spring? Is it the same in the other direction as well?
Also does wave length time frequency determine speed, or does speed /frequency determine wavelength?
