Two uniform strings of mass per unit length $\mu$ and $4 \mu$,and length $L$ and $2 L$,respectively,are joined at point $O$,and tied at two fixed ends $P$ and $Q$,as shown in the figure. The strings are under a uniform tension $T$. If we define the frequency $v_0=\frac{1}{2 L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$,which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ With a node at $O$,the minimum frequency of vibration of the composite string is $v_0$
$(B)$ With an antinode at $O$,the minimum frequency of vibration of the composite string is $2 v_0$
$(C)$ When the composite string vibrates at the minimum frequency with a node at $O$,it has $6$ nodes,including the end nodes
$(D)$ No vibrational mode with an antinode at $O$ is possible for the composite string

$A$ parallel beam of light is incident on a tank filled with water up to a height of $61.5 \,mm$ as shown in the figure below. Ultrasonic waves of frequency $0.5 \,MHz$ are sent along the length of the water column using a transducer placed at the top and they form longitudinal standing waves in the water. Which of the schematic plots below best describes the intensity distribution of the light as seen on the screen? (Take the speed of sound in water to be $1500 \,m/s$)
