    The narrow sound pulse does not have a fixed wavelength or frequency. However, the speed of the sound pulse remains the same, which is equal to the speed in that medium. The short pip produced after 20 s does not mean that the frequency of the whistle is 120or 0.05 Hz. It means that 0.05 Hz is the frequency of repetition of the pip of the whistle. So the answers are

    (a)

    (i) No

    (ii) No

    (iii) Yes

    (b) No
