    A source, approaching with speed $u$ towards the open end of a stationary pipe of length $L$, is emitting a sound of frequency $f_5$. The farther end of the pipe is closed. The speed of sound in air is $v$ and $f_0$ is the fundamental frequency of the pipe. For which of the following combination(s) of $u$ and $f_5$, will the sound reaching the pipe lead to a resonance?

    $(A)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_5=f_0$

    $(B)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_5=2 f_0$

    $(C)$ $u=0.8 v$ and $f_5=0.5 f_0$

    $(D)$ $u=0.5 v$ and $f_5=1.5 f_0$

    A composition string is made up by joining two strings of different masses per unit length $\rightarrow \mu$ and $4\mu$ . The composite string is under the same tension. A transverse wave pulse $: Y = (6 mm) \,\,sin\,\,(5t + 40x),$ where $‘t’$ is in seconds and $‘x’$ in meters, is sent along the lighter string towards the joint. The joint is at $x = 0$. The equation of the wave pulse reflected from the joint is
