Questions Related to longitudinal and transverse waves

When a wave is reflected from a ___________ medium, there is no change of phase.

physics properties of waves longitudinal and transverse waves travelling waves types of waves

  1. rarer

  2. denser

  3. both

  4. none of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

when reflection of wave takes place from the denser medium then  it undergoes a phase change of $\pi$ . Since, here in question the phase is not changing so the medium must be rarer.

answer is A.
