Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion The reflection from a rigid boundary is same as the reflection from a medium of high density or a denser medium. When the reflection takes place, there is a reversal in the sign of the wave velocity as well as the particle velocity i.e. the complete reversal of the phase.
