A heavy uniform rope PQ is suspended from the ceiling. The lowest end of the rope is given a sharp transverse "shake" (or vibration) so as to cause a pulse. This pulse travels upward. As it travels upward, its speed:
1. increases 2. decreases
3. first increases and then decreases 4. remains constant

When two identical loudspeakers playing the same frequency are placed equidistant from an observer, a sound of 60 dB is heard if the sources are in phase with each other. However, if the two speakers are out of phase, no sound is heard. If the speakers are played with a phase difference of 90, the sound heard will be:
1. 302 dB
2. (60+2) dB
3. 57 dB
4. 602 dB
