Mention the type of ultrasonic waves and their frequency.

When a sound wave of frequency $300 Hz$ passes through a medium,the maximum displacement of a particle of the medium is $0.1 cm$. The maximum velocity of the particle is equal to:

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 $1$).

Regarding the speed of sound in a gas, match the following:
$A$. Temperature of gas is made $4$ times and pressure $2$ times$P$. Speed becomes $2\sqrt{2}$ times
$B$. Only pressure is made $4$ times without change in temperature$Q$. Speed becomes $2$ times
$C$. Only temperature is changed to $4$ times$R$. Speed remains unchanged
$D$. Molecular mass of the gas is made $4$ times$S$. Speed becomes half

$A$ person standing between two parallel cliffs fires a gun and hears two echoes, the first echo after $1$ second and the second echo after $3$ seconds. The distance between the two cliffs is (The velocity of sound = $330$ m/s). (in $m$)
