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.
