    The pressure wave, $P = 0.01\,sin\,[1000t -3x]\,Nm^{-2},$ corresponds to the sound produced by a vibrating blade on a day when atmospheric temperature is $0\,^oC.$ On some other day when temperature is $T,$ the speed of sound produced by the same blade and at the same frequency is found to be $336 \,ms^{-1}$. Approximate value of $T$ is .... $^oC$

    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.
