Column $I$ shows four systems,each of the same length $L$,for producing standing waves. The lowest possible natural frequency of a system is called its fundamental frequency,whose wavelength is denoted as $\lambda_{f}$. Match each system with statements given in Column $II$ describing the nature and wavelength of the standing waves.
Column $I$:
$(A)$ Pipe closed at one end
$(B)$ Pipe open at both ends
$(C)$ Stretched wire clamped at both ends
$(D)$ Stretched wire clamped at both ends and at mid-point
Column $II$:
$(p)$ Longitudinal waves
$(q)$ Transverse waves
$(r)$ $\lambda_{f} = L$
$(s)$ $\lambda_{f} = 2L$
$(t)$ $\lambda_{f} = 4L$

$A$ vibrating string of length $\ell$ under a tension $T$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75 \,cm$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4$ beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $n$. Now, when the tension of the string is slightly increased, the number of beats reduces to $2$ per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340 \,m/s$, the frequency $n$ of the tuning fork in $Hz$ is:

Given below are some functions of $x$ and $t$ to represent the displacement (transverse or longitudinal) of an elastic wave. State which of these represent $(i)$ a travelling wave,$(ii)$ a stationary wave or $(iii)$ none at all:
$(a)$ $y = 2 \cos(3x) \sin(10t)$
$(b)$ $y = 2 \sqrt{x - vt}$
$(c)$ $y = 3 \sin(5x - 0.5t) + 4 \cos(5x - 0.5t)$
$(d)$ $y = \cos x \sin t + \cos 2x \sin 2t$

The displacement of a particle in a string stretched in the $X$ direction is represented by $y$. Among the following expressions for $y$,which ones describe wave motion?
