Answer:

-The wave will be reflected but inverted

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a transverse wave because the wave is moving to the right and the particles are moving up and down. When a transverse wave reaches the end, it is reflected and inverted so the crest becomes through and the through becomes valleys. So, the answer is

-The wave will be reflected but inverted.

Because when a wave finds a fixed end, the wave is reflected, which means that there will be a wave with the same speed and amplitude but in the opposite direction.
