Unlike a laboratory sonometer, a stringed instrument is seldom plucked in the middle. Supposing a sitar string is plucked at about $\frac{1}{4}$th of its length from the end. The most prominent harmonic would be

A block $\mathrm{M}$ hangs vertically at the bottom end of a uniform rope of constant mass per unit length. The top end of the rope is attached to a fixed rigid support at $O$. A transverse wave pulse (Pulse $1$ ) of wavelength $\lambda_0$ is produced at point $O$ on the rope. The pulse takes time $T_{O A}$ to reach point $A$. If the wave pulse of wavelength $\lambda_0$ is produced at point $A$ (Pulse $2$) without disturbing the position of $M$ it takes time $T_{A 0}$ to reach point $O$. Which of the following options is/are correct?

[$A$] The time $\mathrm{T}_{A 0}=\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{OA}}$

[$B$] The velocities of the two pulses (Pulse $1$ and Pulse $2$) are the same at the midpoint of rope.

[$C$] The wavelength of Pulse $1$ becomes longer when it reaches point $A$.

[$D$] The velocity of any pulse along the rope is independent of its frequency and wavelength.

The equation of a wave disturbance is given as : $y = 0.02 cos \left( {\frac{\pi }{2} + 50\pi t} \right) cos (10 x),$ where $x$ and $y$ are in meters and $t$ in seconds. Choose the wrong statement:

If the tension of sonometer’s wire increases four times then the fundamental frequency of the wire will increase by .... $ times$

Four wires of identical length, diameters and of the same material are stretched on a sonometre wire. If the ratio of their tensions is $1 : 4 : 9 : 16$ then the ratio of their fundamental frequencies are
