Physics-Standing Waves
NEET Physics Standing Waves Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): A standing wave pattern on a string with fixed ends shows nodes at the boundaries. | Reason (R): At a rigid boundary, the reflected wave undergoes a phase reversal.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Standing waves on a string with fixed ends result in nodes at the boundaries due to phase reversal of the reflected wave at a rigid boundary, as described in the NCERT context.
