Assertion (A): Regular reflection of an oblique shock from a wall fails at high incident shock angles.

Reason (R): The reflected shock has to turn a stream already slowed by the incident shock.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

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

Answer: D

Both statements are true and the second explains the first. The slower downstream flow has a smaller maximum deflection available, and if the turning needed to restore flow tangency exceeds it, no regular reflection exists. A Mach reflection with a normal shock stem on the wall forms instead.
