A block hangs vertically at the bottom end of a uniform rope of constant mass per unit length. The top end of the rope is attached to a fixed rigid support at O. A transverse wave pulse (Pulse 1) of wavelength is produced at point O on the rope. The pulse takes time to reach point A. If the wave pulse of wavelength is produced at point A (Pulse 2) without disturbing the position of M it takes time to reach point O. Which of the following options is/are correct?

(a)The velocity of any pulse along the rope is independent of its frequency and wavelength
(b)The velocities of two pulses are the same at the midpoint of rope
(c)The wavelength of pulse 1 becomes longer when it reaches point A
(d)The time
