Which outcome occurs when rapid valve closure causes high-frequency pressure waves in a long water pipeline?

💡 Explanation

Water hammer produces pressure spikes because kinetic energy converts into pressure via fluid compressibility and pipe elasticity, exciting acoustic **resonance**. This amplification risk will occur, rather than laminar flow or general density changes, therefore hydraulic resonance is correct.
