What affects the wavelength of a mechanical wave moving trough a medium?
The amount of initial energy affects the wavelength of a mechanical wave moving through a medium. A mechanical wave requires an initial energy input to be created. Once this initial energy is added, the wave will travel through the medium until all the energy has been transferred.
What is the difference between a thrombus and an embolus?
Thrombus: A fibrinous clot that forms in and obstructs a blood vessel, or that forms in one of the chambers of the heart. (It stays in one place) Embolus: A mass, such as an air bubble, a detached blood clot, or a foreign body, that travels through the bloodstream and lodges so as to obstruct or occlude a blood vessel
How is waves speed related to its wavelength and frequency?
As long as the wave stays in the same medium, the product of its wavelength and frequency is always the same number ... its speed.

Does a medium travel with the mechanical wave or does the wave just travel through the medium?
No. (You can play loud music from speakers on one side of the room for as long as you want to, and you won't cause the air to pile up on the other side.)
