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

  • A$I, II$
  • B$II, IV$
  • C$ I, IV$
  • D$II, III$

    Two trains $A$ and $B$ are moving with speeds $20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ and $30 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ respectively in the same direction on the same straight track, with $B$ ahead of $A$. The engines are at the front ends. The engine of train  $A$ blows a long whistle.

    Assume that the sound of the whistle is composed of components varying in frequency from $f_1=800 \mathrm{~Hz}$ to $f_2=1120 \mathrm{~Hz}$, as shown in the figure. The spread in the frequency (highest frequency - lowest frequency) is thus $320 \mathrm{~Hz}$. The speed of sound in still air is $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$.

    $1.$  The speed of sound of the whistle is

    $(A)$ $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $B$

    $(B)$ $360 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $A$ and $310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $B$

    $(C)$ $310 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $A$ and $360 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in $B$

    $(D)$ $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ for passengers in both the trains

    $2.$  The distribution of the sound intensity of the whistle as observed by the passengers in train $\mathrm{A}$ is best represented by

    $Image$

    $3.$  The spread of frequency as observed by the passengers in train $B$ is

    $(A)$ $310 \mathrm{~Hz}$ $(B)$ $330 \mathrm{~Hz}$ $(C)$ $350 \mathrm{~Hz}$ $(D)$ $290 \mathrm{~Hz}$

    Give the answer question $1,2$ and $3.$
