    Why is the Flexural Wavelength Dependent on Density?

    I'm familiar with the derivation of flexural wavelength (λ=(4*D/gΔρ)^.25), but have no intuition for why λ's dependent on Δρ. My intuition tells me if you put a mass on a plate and it bends a little, then you increase the mass, the amplitude of the bend will change, but not the wavelength...
