Problem

A person blows into open-end of a long pipe. As a result, a high pressure pulse of air travels down the pipe. When this pulse reaches the other end of the pipe, [2012] (1) a high-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open. (2) a low-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open. (3) a low-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed. (4) a high-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed.
