View Solution

State whether the following statements are True or False:
$(i)$ In the case of propagation of longitudinal waves,the angle between the directions of particle velocity and wave velocity is $0^{\circ}$ or $180^{\circ}$.
$(ii)$ In the case of propagation of transverse waves,the angle between the directions of particle velocity and wave velocity is $\pi \text{ rad}$.
$(iii)$ Along the direction of propagation of a wave,the distance between two particles having the same phase is called the wavelength of the wave.
$(iv)$ When a wave is reflected from a rarer medium,its phase increases by an amount of $\pi \text{ rad}$.
