Match the column I with column II.
Column I | Column II |
(i) In refraction | [A] Speed of wave does not change |
(ii) In reflection | [B] wavelength must be decreased |
(iii) In refraction form a rarer to a denser medium | [C] frequency does not Changed |
(iv) In reflection from denser medium | [D] Phase change of π must take places. |
Correct Matrix Matching
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Matching Column I with Column II:
(i) [C], (ii) [A], (iii) [B], (iv) [D]. Therefore, the first correct answer matches with option A.
- (i) In refraction - In refraction, the frequency of the wave remains constant while the speed and wavelength change depending on the medium. Therefore, the correct match is:
Answer: [C] frequency does not change. - (ii) In reflection - In reflection, when a wave reflects off a medium, specifically from a denser to a rarer medium, there is no change in speed or wavelength. Thus, the correct match is:
Answer: [A] Speed of wave does not change. - (iii) In refraction from a rarer to a denser medium - When light moves from a rarer medium to a denser one, the wavelength decreases while the frequency remains unchanged. Thus, the correct match is:
Answer: [B] wavelength must be decreased. - (iv) In reflection from a denser medium - When a wave reflects off a denser medium, there is a phase change of π (which corresponds to a half-wavelength shift). Hence, the correct match is:
Answer: [D] Phase change of π must take place.
- (i) - [C]
- (ii) - [A]
- (iii) - [B]
- (iv) - [D]
(i) [C], (ii) [A], (iii) [B], (iv) [D]. Therefore, the first correct answer matches with option A.
