The first overtone of a closed organ pipe of length \(l_1\) matches the fundamental frequency of an open pipe of length \(l_2\). Then,
1. \(l_1 = 2l_2\)
2. \(l_2 = 2l_1\)
3. \(2l_1 = 3l_2\)
4. \(2l_2 = 3l_1\)

Two waveforms travelling along the \(x\)-axis are superposed:    \(y_1(x,t)=2~\text{mm}\sin2\pi\big[(100~\text s^{-1})t+(10~\text m^{-1})x\big]\) and \(y_2(x,t)=2~\text{mm}\sin2\pi\big[(10~\text m^{-1})x-(100~\text s^{-1})t\big],\) and their superposition is \(y(x,t)=y_1+y_2.\) This represents:
1. a \(100~\text{Hz}\) waveform travelling along positive \(x\)
2. a \(100~\text{Hz}\) waveform travelling along negative \(x\)
3. a \(100~\text{Hz}\) – standing waveform
4. a \(200~\text{Hz}\) – standing waveform
