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

$A$ narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at positions at a right angle to each other. $A$ source placed at $S$ generates a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts: one part travels along the longer path,while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed. If a minimum is formed at the detector,then the magnitude of the wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave produced is given by:

$A$ hollow pipe of length $0.8 \ m$ is closed at one end. At its open end,a $0.8 \ m$ long uniform string is vibrating in its second harmonic and it resonates with the fundamental frequency of the pipe. If the tension in the string is $50 \ N$ and the speed of sound in air is $320 \ m/s$,the mass of the string is: (in $g$)

In Quincke's tube,a detector detects minimum intensity. Now,one of the tubes is displaced by $5 \, cm$. During displacement,the detector detects maximum intensity $10$ times,and finally a minimum intensity (when displacement is complete). The wavelength of sound is .... $cm$.

$A$ parallel beam of light is incident on a tank filled with water up to a height of $61.5 \,mm$ as shown in the figure below. Ultrasonic waves of frequency $0.5 \,MHz$ are sent along the length of the water column using a transducer placed at the top and they form longitudinal standing waves in the water. Which of the schematic plots below best describes the intensity distribution of the light as seen on the screen? (Take the speed of sound in water to be $1500 \,m/s$)
