When a longistudinal wave is incident at the bondary of a denser medium, then

A

compression gets reflected as a compression

B

compression gets reflected as a rarefraction

C

rarefraction gets reflected as a compression

D

longitudinal wave reflects as transverse wave

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
