The figure below shows pressure variation in two different sound waves in air with time at a given position. Both the figures are drawn to the same scale. Which of the following statements is true?

Assume that the displacement $(s)$ of air is proportional to the pressure difference $(\Delta p)$ created by a sound wave. Displacement $(s)$ further depends on the speed of sound $(v)$,density of air $(\rho)$,and the frequency $(f)$. If $\Delta p \approx 10 \, Pa$,$v \approx 300 \, m/s$,$\rho \approx 1 \, kg/m^3$,and $f \approx 1000 \, Hz$,then $s$ will be of the order of (take multiplicative constant to be $1$).

$A$ wave with a wavelength of $0.60 \ cm$ is produced in air and it travels at a speed of $300 \ ms^{-1}$. This wave is classified as:

The ratio of the velocity of sound in hydrogen $\left(\gamma=\frac{7}{5}\right)$ to that in helium $\left(\gamma=\frac{5}{3}\right)$ at the same temperature is

The speed of sound in air at temperature $T$ and pressure $p$ is $v$. When the temperature is increased to $2 T$ and the pressure is reduced to $\frac{p}{2}$, then the speed is changed to
