A sufficiently long-closed organ pipe has a small hole at its bottom. Initially, the pipe is empty. Water is poured into the pipe at a constant rate. The fundamental frequency of the air column in the pipe:

1. Constantly increases
2. Increases at first, then becomes constant.
3. Constantly decreases
4. Decreases at first, then becomes constant.

A transverse wave moves from a medium \(A\) to a medium \(B\). In medium \(A\), the velocity of the transverse wave is \(500~\text{ms}^{-1}\) and the wavelength is \(5~\text{m}\). The frequency and the wavelength of the wave in medium \(B\) when its velocity is \(600~\text{ms}^{-1}\), respectively are:

1. \(120~\text{Hz}\) and \(5~\text{m}\) 2. \(100~\text{Hz}\) and \(5~\text{m}\)
3. \(120~\text{Hz}\) and \(5~\text{m}\) 4. \(100~\text{Hz}\) and \(6~\text{m}\)
