In telecommunications, the reflection coefficient is the ratio of the complex amplitude of the reflected wave to that of the incident wave.
22.
A distant station in the horizontal direction will receive both the direct and reflected wave, which thus tend to cancel each other.
23.
This is analogous to Wien's observation that under slow motion of the wall the energy to frequency ratio of reflected waves is constant.
24.
When a boat passes by and the bow waves bounce off the walls, the original and reflected waves interact to form checkered paterns.
25.
Since most transmission lines also have a reflected wave, the characteristic impedance is generally not the impedance that is measured on the line.
26.
Interference filters are wavelength-selective by virtue of the interference effects that take place between the incident and reflected waves at the thin-film boundaries.
27.
If the bar is placed at an angle to the wavefront the reflected waves can be seen to obey the law of reflection.
28.
Many headers are also resonance tuned, to utilize the low-pressure reflected wave rarefaction pulse which can help scavenging the combustion chamber during valve overlap.
29.
The wave is usually emitted by a piezoelectric cell or measurement sensor head and the same sensor is used to record the reflected wave.
30.
The transmitted and reflected waves arrived at detectors at the same time, despite the transmitted light having also traversed the distance of the gap.
