I thought filaments produced photons/light waves as well. You took me to
light now you want to leave!
Come on I just want a good basic understand on what it is the the Tx
reflects the power , how it does it and a little simple math. My dad used
to say if you can't explain something you think you know to someone else it
might because you don't understand it yourself or lack command of the
language. In this case for me it's both.

OK, if we shine a flashlight at a mirror the light bounces back and what

whatever.

The hot filament provides a source of electrons. How many
electrons are emitted depends on the instantaneous voltages
on the other elements, the plate and grids. Reflected waves
have an effect on those instantaneous voltages but IMO,
there's not much sense in pursuing the "filament" line of
reasoning.
