Assertion (A): Node of pressure wave is formed at the open end of an organ pipe.
Reason (R): Reflected pressure wave from an open end will have phase difference of \( \pi \) w.r.t. to the incident pressure wave.
At the open end of an organ pipe, the pressure is approximately atmospheric pressure, meaning there is no excess pressure variation, hence it is a pressure node. When a pressure wave reflects from an open end (a boundary to a less dense medium), it undergoes a \( \pi \) (180 degrees) phase shift. This phase shift causes the incident and reflected waves to destructively interfere at the open end, creating a pressure node. Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
