Assertion (A): An expansion fan reflects from a solid wall as a compression.

Reason (R): A solid wall requires the flow to remain tangent to it.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: A

The assertion is false and the reason is true. Tangency does have to be restored, but the incident expansion turned the flow away from the wall, so a further expansion is what turns it back. A solid wall reflects a wave in kind; it is a constant-pressure boundary that reverses its sense.
