A train has just completed a U-curve in a track which is a semi-circle. The engine is at the forward end of the semi circular part of the track while the last carriage is at the rear end of the semicircular track. The driver blows a whistle of frequency 200 Hz. The velocity of sound is 340 m s-1. Then, the apparent frequency as observed by a passenger in the middle of a train when the speed of the train is 30 m s-1 is,

Assertion: On reflection from a rigid boundary (denser medium), there is a complete reversal of phase.

Reason: This is because, on reflection at a denser medium, both the particle velocity and wave velocity are reversed in sign.
