A person blows into open-end of a long pipe. As a result, a high-pressure pulse of air travels down the pipe. When this pulse reaches the other end of the pipe then which of the following statements are true ?

$(I)$ a high-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open

$(II)$ a low -pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open

$(III)$ a low pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed

$(IV)$ a high-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed

At open end phase of pressure wave charge by $\pi$ so compression returns as rarefraction. While at closed end phaseof pressure wave does not charge so compression return as compression.
