Default Revisiting the Power Explanation

In addition, Cecil, the experiment also proves that the reflected power doesn't heat the plate, because the
output source resistance is non-dissipative.


I understand what happens to the direction and
momentum in the reflected wave when it encounters
an impedance discontinuity at some distance from
the source, e.g. a Z0-match.

What happens to the direction and momentum in the
reflected wave when it encounters a non-dissipative
resistance at the source?
