Q. No.The equation \(y(x,t) = 0.005 \cos (\alpha x- \beta t)\) describes a wave traveling along the \(x\text-\)axis. If the wavelength and the time period of the wave are \(0.08~\text{m}\) and \(2.0~\text{s}\), respectively, then \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) in appropriate units are:
1. \(\alpha = 25.00\pi, \beta = \pi\)
2. \(\alpha = \frac{0.08}{\pi}, \beta = \frac{2.0}{\pi}\)
3. \(\alpha = \frac{0.04}{\pi}, \beta = \frac{1.0}{\pi}\)
4. \(\alpha = 12.50\pi, \beta = \frac{\pi}{2.0}\)

A vibrating tuning fork of frequency \(n\) is placed near the open end of a long cylindrical tube.
The tube has a side opening and is also fitted with a movable reflecting piston. As the piston is moved through \(8.75~\text{cm}\), the intensity of sound changes from a maximum to a minimum. If the speed of sound is \(350\) metre per second, then \(n\) is:
1. \(500~\text{Hz}\)
2. \(1000~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(2000~\text{Hz}\)
4. \(4000~\text{Hz}\)
