For a fixed end reflection, the reflected wave has
A
The same phase as the incident pulse but with velocity reversed
B
A phase change of 
with no reversal of velocity
with no reversal of velocity C
The same phase as the incident pulse with no reversal of velocity
D
A phase change of 
with velocity reversed
with velocity reversed
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
On reflection from fixed end (denser medium), a phase difference of 
is introduced and velocity is reversed.
