In the reaction, $Cu(s)+ 2Ag^+ (aq) \rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq) + 2Ag(s)$ , the reduction half cell reaction is

$Cu + 2e^- \rightarrow Cu^{2+}$

$Cu - 2e^-\rightarrow Cu^{2+}$

$Ag^+ + e^- \rightarrow Ag$

$Ag^- e^-\rightarrow Ag^+$

Answer

$Ag^+ + e^- \rightarrow Ag$

Explanation

Copper undergo oxidation while silver $(Ag^+)$ undergo reduction
