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?

$A$ wave pulse on a string has the dimensions shown in the figure. The wave speed is $v = 1 \, cm/s$. If point $O$ is a free end,what is the shape of the wave at time $t = 3 \, s$?

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
$(r)$ $\lambda_{f} = L$
$(s)$ $\lambda_{f} = 2L$
$(t)$ $\lambda_{f} = 4L$

The frequency of a stretched uniform wire of length $L$ under tension is in resonance with the fundamental frequency of a closed pipe of same length. If the tension in the wire is increased by $8 \ N$,it is in resonance with the first overtone of the same closed pipe. The initial tension in the wire is (in $N$)

An earthquake generates both transverse $(S)$ and longitudinal $(P)$ waves in the Earth. The speed of $S$ waves is about $4.5 \, km/s$ and that of $P$ waves is about $8.0 \, km/s$. $A$ seismograph records $P$ and $S$ waves from an earthquake. The first $P$ wave arrives $4.0 \, min$ before the first $S$ wave. The epicenter of the earthquake is located at a distance of about .... $km$.

$A$ transverse sinusoidal wave of amplitude $a,$ wavelength $\lambda,$ and frequency $n$ is travelling on a stretched string. The maximum speed of any point on the string is $v/10,$ where $v$ is the speed of propagation of the wave. If $a = 10^{-3} \ m$ and $v = 10 \ m/s,$ then $\lambda$ and $n$ are given by:
