Does amplitude change when a wave reflects from a free or rigid end?

Sir,
When a wave is reflected from a free end or a rigid end, will there be a change in amplitude always?

What do you think?

I think Yes.

You're correct, as far as the magnitude is concerned, assuming NO power loss at the "end".
