An air column in a tube $32 \,cm$ long, closed at one end, is in resonance with a tuning fork. The air column in another tube, open at both ends, of length $66 \,cm$ is in resonance with another tuning fork. When these two tuning forks are sounded together, they produce $8$ beats per second. Then the frequencies of the two tuning forks are (Consider fundamental frequencies only):

$Assertion :$ The pitch of wind instruments rises and that of string instruments falls as an orchestra warms up.
$Reason :$ When temperature rises,the speed of sound increases,but the speed of a wave in a string fixed at both ends decreases.

$A$ 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:

$A$ 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 $1500 \,m/s$)

Select the correct alternative$(s)$ :-
$(A)$ Number of nodes equals to number of antinodes in closed organ pipe.
$(B)$ In open organ pipe,if number of antinodes is $m$,then number of nodes will be $m-1$.
$(C)$ If frequency of $4^{\text{th}}$ harmonic of open organ pipe is $400 \ Hz$,then frequency of $2^{\text{nd}}$ overtone of closed organ pipe of same length is $250 \ Hz$.
$(D)$ Time interval between successive maxima or minima (for superposition of two waves) is $\Delta t = \frac{1}{|f_1-f_2|} \ s$.
