The equation $y = A \sin 2\mathrm{\pi } \left(\frac{\mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{T}} - \frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{\lambda }}\right)$ where the symbols carry the usual meaning and A, T and λ are positive, represents a wave of

• amplitude 2 A

• period T/λ

• speed xλ

• speed $\left(\frac{\mathrm{\lambda }}{\mathrm{T}}\right)$

A pipe open at both the ends produces a note of fundamental frequency f₁ . When the pipe is kept with $\frac{3}{4}$th of its length in water, it produces a note of fundamental frequency f₂ . The ratio of  $\frac{{\mathrm{f}}_1}{{\mathrm{f}}_2}$ is

• $\frac{4}{3}$

• $\frac{3}{4}$

• 2

• $\frac{1}{2}$
