Match each incident wave and boundary in List I with the reflected wave in List II.

List I

A. Expansion striking a solid wall

B. Expansion striking a constant-pressure boundary

C. Shock striking a solid wall

D. Shock striking a constant-pressure boundary

List II

1. Compression

2. Expansion

3. Shock

4. Expansion fan

Select the correct match.

  • A.A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3
  • B.A-3, B-1, C-2, D-4
  • C.A-2, B-1, C-3, D-4
  • D.A-1, B-2, C-3, D-4

Answer: C

The rule is worth memorising in one line: a solid wall reflects a wave in kind, a constant-pressure boundary reflects it with the sense reversed. The second half of that rule is what drives the alternating pattern of shock diamonds in an imperfectly expanded plume.
