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.

$(A)$ a high-pressure pulse starts traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open.

$(B)$ a low-pressure pulse starts traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open.

$(C)$ a low-pressure pulse starts traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed.

$(D)$ a high-pressure pulse starts traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed.

  • A$(B,D)$
  • B$(B,C)$
  • C$(A,D)$
  • D$(C,D)$

    This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2.$ Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.

    Statement $1:$ In the resonance tube experiment, if the tuning fork is replaced by another identical turning fork but with its arm having been filled, the length of the air column should be increased to obtain resonance again.

    Statement $2:$ On filling the arms, the frequency of a tuning fork increases.
