A pulse of a wave train travels along a ...

A pulse of a wave train travels along a stretched string and reaches the fixed end of the string.it will be reflected back with

A

a phase change of `180^(@)` with velocity reversed

B

the same phase as the incident pulse with no reversal of velocity

C

a phase change of `180^(@)` with no reversal of velocity

D

the same phase as the incident pulse but with velocity reversed

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

When the pulse of the wave train reaches the fixed end , it is reflected back in the same medium, with a phase change of ` pi " or " 180^(@)` but the velocity is not changed.
