$A$ rope of length $L$ and uniform linear density is hanging from the ceiling. $A$ transverse wave pulse,generated close to the free end of the rope,travels upwards through the rope. Select the correct option.

Consider a system of three connected strings,$S_1, S_2$ and $S_3$ with uniform linear mass densities $\mu \text{ kg/m}$,$4\mu \text{ kg/m}$ and $16\mu \text{ kg/m}$,respectively,as shown in the figure. $S_1$ and $S_2$ are connected at the point $P$,whereas $S_2$ and $S_3$ are connected at the point $Q$,and the other end of $S_3$ is connected to a wall. $A$ wave generator $O$ is connected to the free end of $S_1$. The wave from the generator is represented by $y = y_0 \cos(\omega t - kx) \text{ cm}$,where $y_0, \omega$ and $k$ are constants of appropriate dimensions. Which of the following statements is/are correct:
$(A)$ When the wave reflects from $P$ for the first time,the reflected wave is represented by $y = \alpha_1 y_0 \cos(\omega t + kx + \pi) \text{ cm}$,where $\alpha_1$ is a positive constant.
$(B)$ When the wave transmits through $P$ for the first time,the transmitted wave is represented by $y = \alpha_2 y_0 \cos(\omega t - kx) \text{ cm}$,where $\alpha_2$ is a positive constant.
$(C)$ When the wave reflects from $Q$ for the first time,the reflected wave is represented by $y = \alpha_3 y_0 \cos(\omega t - kx + \pi) \text{ cm}$,where $\alpha_3$ is a positive constant.
$(D)$ When the wave transmits through $Q$ for the first time,the transmitted wave is represented by $y = \alpha_4 y_0 \cos(\omega t - 4kx) \text{ cm}$,where $\alpha_4$ is a positive constant.

The equation of a wave on a string of linear mass density $0.04 \ kg \ m^{-1}$ is given by $y = 0.02 \sin \left[ 2\pi \left( \frac{t}{0.04 \ s} - \frac{x}{0.50 \ m} \right) \right] \ m$. The tension in the string is .... $N$.
