(D) In a longitudinal wave,the displacement $\xi$ is given by $\xi = A \sin(kx - \omega t)$. The strain is given by $\partial \xi / \partial x = Ak \cos(kx - \omega t)$.At a compression zone $(C)$,the displacement gradient $\partial \xi / \partial x$ is at its negative maximum,and at a rarefaction zone $(R)$,it is at its positive maximum. Thus,their magnitudes are equal: $|\partial \xi / \partial x|_C = |\partial \xi / \partial x|_R$.At the midpoint between $C$ and $R$,the displacement gradient is zero,which corresponds to the equilibrium position where particle velocity is maximum,but the displacement is zero. However,the pressure variation is given by $\Delta P = -B (\partial \xi / \partial x)$,where $B$ is the Bulk modulus.The pressure difference between $C$ and $R$ is $\Delta P_C - \Delta P_R = -B (\partial \xi / \partial x)_C - (-B (\partial \xi / \partial x)_R)$. Since $(\partial \xi / \partial x)_C = -|\partial \xi / \partial x|$ and $(\partial \xi / \partial x)_R = +|\partial \xi / \partial x|$,the difference is $2B |\partial \xi / \partial x|$.Therefore,all statements are correct.

$A$. Temperature of gas is made $4$ times and pressure $2$ times	$P$. Speed becomes $2\sqrt{2}$ times
$B$. Only pressure is made $4$ times without change in temperature	$Q$. Speed becomes $2$ times
$C$. Only temperature is changed to $4$ times	$R$. Speed remains unchanged
$D$. Molecular mass of the gas is made $4$ times	$S$. Speed becomes half

The particle displacement of a travelling longitudinal wave is represented by $\xi = \xi(x, t)$. The midpoints of a compression zone and an adjacent rarefaction zone are represented by the letters $C$ and $R$. Which of the following is true?
