NEET Physics Standing Waves Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Rigid boundary | (i) Phase reversal |
| (b) Open boundary | (ii) No phase change |
| (c) Standing wave | (iii) Result of interference |
| (d) Node | (iv) Point of zero displacement |
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-i, b-iii, c-ii, d-iv
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
At a rigid boundary, the wave is reflected with phase reversal, while at an open boundary, the reflection occurs without any phase change. A standing wave is formed by the interference of two identical waves, and a node is a point of zero displacement in the standing wave pattern.
