Hi all.
If I send an electromagnetic wave down a coaxial cable which is short-circuited, I have found that the reflected complex amplitude is related to te complex incoming amplitude by:
\(
V_{\text{reflected}} = -V_{\text{incoming}}.
\)
Should I interpret this as all the wave is reflected, but it is not upside down, i.e. the phase has changed by 180 degrees?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Niles.
