Displacement and Pressure Wave Equation of Sound
Question

A person blows into open-end of a long pipe. As a result, a high-pressure pulse of air travels down the pipe. When this pulse reaches the other end of the pipe.

 a low-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open

a low-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed

a high-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed

a high-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open

Solution

Phase change of π from denser medium and no phase charge from a rarer medium. For sound, the close end of the pipe is a rarer medium and open end is a denser medium.
