NEET Physics Standing Waves Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Rigid boundary (i) No phase change (b) Open boundary (ii) Phase reversal (c) Standing waves (iii) Constructive interference (d) Destructive interference (iv) Out of phase
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
At a rigid boundary, the wave undergoes a phase reversal (i.e., a phase change of π), while at an open boundary, there is no phase change. Standing waves are formed through constructive interference, while destructive interference occurs when waves are out of phase.
