A pulse of a wavetrain travels along a stretched string and reaches the fixed end of the string. It will be reflected back with

A

The same phase as the incident pulse but with velocity reversed

B

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

C

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

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Reflection from fixed end, a phase difference of `pi` is introduced.
