Answer #1

1) phase difference between incident and reflected wave will be zero as the particle will not have any force at the end to change its phase.

2) the sine wave will represent the pressure variations from zero upto a highest pressure (amplitude ) in the medium. The pressure variation will have sinudoidal varying relation with distance in the medium.
