If a string wave encounters a completely fixed end, what happens to its phase?(a) Stays the same(b) Changes by π(c) Changes by π/2(d) Waves gets destroyedI got this question in a national level competition.Enquiry is from Reflection of Waves in chapter Waves of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (b) Changes by π

To explain I WOULD say: The reason for the PHASE to change by π is that the boundary displacement should be zero because it is rigid & by principle of superposition it is only possible if the reflected wave differs by a phase of π.
