NEET Physics Standing Waves Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Rigid boundary (i) Phase change of π (b) Open boundary (ii) No phase change (c) Standing wave (iii) Interference of waves (d) Reflective wave (iv) Wave travels without reversal
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-i, b-iv, c-ii, d-iii
a-iv, b-ii, c-iii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
At a rigid boundary, the wave reflects with a phase change of π, while at an open boundary, there is no phase change. Standing waves are formed due to the interference of two identical waves moving in opposite directions.
