As the speed of the plunger increases, the wavelength of the waves decreases. The greater the frequency, the smaller the wavelength. The smaller the frequency, the greater the wavelength. When we increase the speed of the plunger, the frequency of the waves also increases, and just like with the size of the ball, it's the speed of the plunger and the frequency of the waves are directly related.
