(a) What are standing waves or stationary waves ?
(b) Show that when a transverse wave travels from a rarer to a denser medium it gets reflected with a phase change of `pit`. Also prove that wien a transverse wave travels from a denser to rarer medium it gets reflected from the surface separating the two media without any phase change.
