State whether the following statements are True or False:
$(i)$ In the case of propagation of longitudinal waves,the angle between the directions of particle velocity and wave velocity is $0^{\circ}$ or $180^{\circ}$.
$(ii)$ In the case of propagation of transverse waves,the angle between the directions of particle velocity and wave velocity is $\pi \text{ rad}$.
$(iii)$ Along the direction of propagation of a wave,the distance between two particles having the same phase is called the wavelength of the wave.
$(iv)$ When a wave is reflected from a rarer medium,its phase increases by an amount of $\pi \text{ rad}$.

$A$ wave is represented by the equation $y = 7\sin \{ \pi (2t - 2x) \} $ where $x$ is in metres and $t$ is in seconds. The velocity of the wave is ..... $m/s$.

For the wave $y(x, t) = 3.0 \sin (36 t + 0.018 x + \pi / 4)$,plot the displacement $(y)$ versus time $(t)$ graphs for $x = 0, 2$ and $4 \; cm$. What are the shapes of these graphs? In which aspects does the oscillatory motion in a travelling wave differ from one point to another: amplitude,frequency,or phase?

The amplitude of a wave disturbance propagating in the positive $X-$ direction is given by $y = 1/(1 + x^2)$ at time $t = 0$ and by $y = 1/[1 + (x - 1)^2]$ at $t = 2$ seconds,where $x$ and $y$ are in meters. The shape of the wave disturbance does not change during the propagation. The velocity of the wave is ..... $ms^{-1}$.
