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 λ f . Match each system with statements given in Column II describing the nature and wavelength of the standing waves.
Column I | Column II |
(a) Pipe closed at one end | (p) Longitudinal waves |
(b) Pipe open at both ends | (q) Transverse waves |
(c) Stretched wire clamped at both ends | (r) λf = L |
(d) Stretched wire clamped at both ends and at mid-point | (s) λf = 2L |

– p,t, – p,s, – q,s, – q, r
Sol. 
= L, λ = 4L,
Sound waves are longitudinal waves
= L, λ = 2L
Sound waves are longitudinal waves
= L, λ = 2L
String waves are transverse waves
λ = L
String waves are transverse waves
